Biological male Lia Thomas is taking legal action in an alleged effort to compete as a woman in the 2024 Olympics.

This guy is nuts.

Thomas has hired a Canadian law firm to ask the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland to change the World Aquatic ruIes. At the moment, transgenders are banned from competing in elite competitions for obvious reasons.

World Aquatics remains confident that its gender inclusion policy represents a fair approach, and remains absolutely determined to protect women’s sport, World Aquatics said in a statement.

Keep men out of women’s sports.

At 53, Kelly Ripa’s black gown on Oscars red carpet ignites reactlons from fans

It was a predictably eventful evening in LA this past Sunday at the 96th Academy Awards, hosted at the Dolby Theater.

Among the stand-out moments were John Cena’s naked walk across the stage to present the award for Best Costume Design and Al Pacino’s decision to skip over the nominations for Best Film altogether, instead going straight to announcing the winner.

There were also plenty of talking points to be gleaned from the red carpet, not least relating to the plethora of eye-catching outfits on show. As per reports, actress Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos were among those to steal the show, with the former causing a particular stir on social media.

Celebrities dominating headlines for their choice of garment for any particular awards ceremony is nothing new.

Yet in the age of social media, where live photos from the red carpet can be shared around the world at the click of a button, it’s become arguably more popular than ever to discuss and debate outfits in real time.

As such, it’s only natural to expect that an event of the magnitude of the Oscars, and those fortunate enough to be in attendance, is always going to be heavily scrutinized.
