Are you implying there will be more dashcam videos worth watching now that transsexuals can't drive anymore? Comrade Putin is cracking down hard on Russia's problems!

(seriously, how far removed from reality do people have to be to think "ban transsexuals from driving" makes sense?)

Sounds more like, rather than "ban all transsexuals from driving", the actual policy was "ban people with mental illnesses from driving" and Russia just so happens to classify transsexuals as mentally ill so it was on the list of things disqualifying people from driving - along with a large number of other things.

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.

Yes, but frame it as what it is - discrimination against the mentally ill and a number of other groups including LGBTs. At the very least it'd probably lead to less lovely jokes than hyperfocusing in on just one of the many groups affected.
