Itâs my ambition to one day be mistaken for Tony Hawk as often as Tony Hawk is mistaken for Tony Hawk.

The EHRC has overreached in Falknerâs haste. If they go ahead with these proposals the article 8 challenges will come thick and fast - and not just from trans people, but gender non-conforming cis women who will also inevitably be affected.

Almost a nice piece of play, but then they quickly realised and put an end to it.
