Wrong on so many levels - The poor women athletes who have spent years training for this - As liberal as I am I cannot see that a person born male can ever compete against a woman in any sport that requires strength and power _ Imagine if Bruce Jenner had transitioned before the 1976 Olympics and competed in the womens division- What records would he have set - Sometimes woke people just need to wake up!!

I’m also with you Mr H

The show director of the Olympics opening ceremony has been dismissed, one day before the event is due to be held.
Apparently, a long time ago, he joked about the Holocaust.
