I don't think any of it is rational, unless you look at it from the perspective of getting people who are trans-phobic or don't understand how many psychological disorders work on your side politically. Unfortunately, it is probably then considering Russia at the moment, it is sadly probably a sensible strategy. As the Russian economy continues to go down the tubes with oil prices, more these laws are going to be passed.

Main Paineframe posted: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. Yeah, I think discrimination of people with OCD and other disorders in which people can still be perfectly functional is just as bad even if it isn't based on identity (although genetics maybe play a part in both, I don't know it is conclusive or not yet). It reminds me of how fearful may people are of their kids being diagnosed with even a learning disability, better it be kept quiet and diagnosed then it being "official" since who knows where it will lead. Just keep your head down, get out of the way of the state. That said, it looks like the discriminatory laws are only getting more severe alongside the decline of the economy.
