Sports is such a tricky thing to look at, Lia Thomas is often sighted as an example of the imbalance with allowing transgender people to compete in single sex rankings, when Lia was competing in the mens 500 meter freestyle the best she managed was 56in the world, a year later when she competed in the women's 500 meter freestyle she places first in the world.

I think it's probably the right thing to do. Men have higher mussle density, thicker bones and a larger heart then women. Men just are physically stronger and faster, and all the oestrogen in the world won't counter that once it's developed.

Still though, you have to admire the dedication of any athlete who will change gender, live a completely different life and face all the hardships that come with it just to win a sports event.

The Israeli president Isaac Herzog has even warned Netanyahu that his oppressive judicial ‘reforms’ could bring the country to full scale civil war. Seeing the response from the Israeli public over the last 12 hours, Herzog likely has a point.

A civil war in Israel would get ugly. You're dealing with a country which is a "fortress nation" where every able-bodied person has completed mandatory military service.
