Luke O’Reilly Kane was born a woman, but his views now go against the predominant transgender ideology.

Now 27, he was aged 18 in 2016 and among the first people to obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate under the 2015 Gender Recognition Act, which marks 10 years in existence next month. Under the act, he could legally change his gender from female to male, and he carries a certificate to this effect.
