A man who is undergoing a sex change has been appointed as an ambassador for transsexuals visiting the 2012 Olympics.
David Johnson, 55, from Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, took the first steps towards becoming a woman named Delia 18 months ago after feeling that he should have been born female.
He has now been appointed to the role which will help to promote the London games as the most diverse and inclusive ever.

Of course it should, but the article is from the Daily Mail notorious for it's right wing attitudes. Nasty rag of a newspaper.

Like mimpi said, it's from the Daily "Fail", which is basically a British newspaper version of the worst, most cancerous parts of Fox News.
