yo I can't find any source for this whatsoever coming out of russia

"The government resolution, dated Dec. 29 and signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, lists numerous medical conditions, including "mental and behavioral disorders" defined by the World Health Organization, that the government believes disqualify a person for a driving license"
note that the WHO still lists being transgendered as a mental disorder

so did they just use an international standard of health as something to be considered when people apply for licences which has been convoluted into them explicitly banning transgendered people?

Even IF that's what happened and that's not just a stupid attempt to justify banning transexual people from driving it's still a stupid law because the only impairments that should disqualify someone from driving are ones that affect your ability to drive.
