Russia will no longer allow transgendered people to own a drivers license.

So because the UK's recent laws weren't bad enough, Russia has decided to follow in their footsteps. It's sad when the United States appears to be the most trans-friendly major country.

special interestism, exhibitionism and voyeurism are also included as "mental disorders" now barring people from driving.

The government says it is tightening medical controls for drivers because Russia has too many road accidents.

Define "special interestism" right and basically everyone is barred from driving. Russia seems to be rapidly descending back towards communism in which everyone is a criminal but the ones that are complacent with the government are allowed to live freely.

Saw this on gay furries.
Didn't want to post this since I didn't want another huge argument break out about LGBT stuff.

Ok whats wrong with having a special interest? Everyone needs a good special interest.

Alos if they want to lower the number of road accidents then they need to fix their court system so less people have accidents on purpose for insurance fraud reasons.  I guarantee this will not have any effect whatsoever on the ratio of crashes per driver.

restricting research is nowhere near as bad as what russia did with restricting a certain group of people from driving

[hodot]

russia is officially dead

first the rubles, now the sanity

[grunterdb1951]

Because we all know the rate of car accidents significantly rose with the birth of the transgendered.

Glad to see the rest world finally realizing they are just as tribal, bigoted, and intolerant as the Americans they like to bash.

"prevent road accidents" is obviously false justification for their bigotry but like

imagine if that was feasible

people in gimp suits crashing their hondas into trucks full of naked people, guys on motorbikes plowing into pedestrians whilst auto-erotically asphyxiating themselves with their helmet strap. I'd visit russia just to see that wacky carnage

That excuse is so flawed. How does being a transgendered make you drive worse?

"You would have to get used to your chest pillows or pleasure stick which would take too long."
