"Film about transgender pioneer Lili Elbe, starring Oscar-winning actor, pulled from cinemas after online complaints of 'depravity'."

Complaints of depravity? That's a laugh as far as I know, some Arab countries still need to be brought into the 2oth century regarding women's rights and equality. Sticking your head in the sand, pardon the metaphor, is no way to move ahead.
