Biological males should not compete in women’s sports, and children should not be allowed to make decisions about changing their gender, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.

Talking to reporters during a visit to a hospital in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, on April 6, Johnson said: “I don’t think that biological males should be competing in female sporting events. And maybe that’s a controversial thing but it just seems to me to be sensible.”
