Our original pop crush Will Young has just released a powerful new video for upcoming single Brave Man.
The video sees a young male man strip in a pub before wandering his local town. As the man wanders through various groups he is ridiculed, physically abused and subjected to violence.
A moment at the end of the video reveals the piece is a reflection of the true-life story of a transmale.
"It seems extremely brave to be a man in a woman's body and then decide to do something about this," Will commented.
"As I thought more about it I realised that there is often coverage of what it is to be a woman in a man's body but never to my knowledge the documenting of the opposite. Almost a perverted kind of patriarchy.
"In this video we see a man determined to be himself in the face of all adversity from inside and outside. It isn't brave but my god it shows true grit and strength. What a wonderful thing.
"This video isn't about selling records or my personal benefit. This video is about taking a moment in time to explore a section of society who stand up for themselves. To tell a story and offer a window through music into someone's life. I've never felt so humbled and proud."
