President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a controversial law that bans legal and surgical sex changes, a move that deprives transgender Russians of the right to access gender-affirming services. The law, which makes "medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person" and "the state registration of a change of gender without an operation" illegal, was swiftly passed by both houses of the Russian parliament earlier this month. The law also bans individuals who have undergone gender reassignment from adopting children and annuls marriages in which one of the partners is transgender. It enters into force immediately upon its publishing on the government website.
It’s a drop in the bucket in that sense, but, what’s a target of this law, yet another win over ‘deranged west’ and it’s agenda.
Most of the time people with gender dysphoria don’t even know what’s that, can hardly find a community, realize they are not cis, start a course of costy tabs, believe they can aquire a legal status from that state – all that with still being there, working, meeting people. It was a surprise to many this loophole existed. And it’s still required a doc confirming you have a mental illness.
Cis men won’t even try that for our right-wing politics and propaganda, they would rather break a leg than that, or just wait it out.
And no, there are a lot of people still availiable for service. Minority of transwomen wouldn’t do any weather. But I’m fucking crumble inside imagining any of them being mobilized into a typical men environment. It’s a death sentence.
