Russia bans trans people from driving


Under an insane new Russian “safety law,” people with “mental disorders” may not drive.

These “disorders” include pathological gambling, stealing, “fetishism, exhibitionism and voyeurism,” as well as being trans.

But the Professional Drivers Union supported the move. “We have too many deaths on the road, and I believe toughening medical requirements for applicants is fully justified,” said the union’s head Alexander Kotov.
