Even Justice Minister Konstantin Chuchenko, a fellow student of former Russian President Medvedev in Leningrad and three years with the KGB before climbing to the top of Gazprom, noticed it. The numbers were in front of his eyes, it was enough to read them. In 2018, just 300 Russians asked to change their gender, up from 2,700 in 2022. And the increase comes a month after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24 last year. Puzzles about the latest numbers. Chuychenko put two and two together and found that many of the transgender people actually want To as women just so they don’t go to Ukraine and go to the front.
The rotation of the screw
Therefore, she has decided to crack down on the legislation and strengthen the rules that today allow anyone in Russia to change their sex by presenting a doctor’s certificate, without having to undergo surgery. The Duma is scheduled to vote on the new text by next week, and on May 15 it could pass the law imposing the operating room in addition to the already planned hormone therapies. “This allows us to rule out the possibility of a person changing their gender just by changing the documents. And we will raise family values in the Russian legal system». In addition to the prejudices against homosexuals, evident and recurring in the speeches of Putin, the Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow Kyryll, and recently in the insults of the leader of the Wagner mercenaries, Prigozhin, there is now the will of the regime not to allow anyone visit, or to circumvent forced conscription and mobilizations to repel the Ukrainian counter-offensive by taking advantage of legislation that is still very tolerant of anyone wanting to change their gender. For the head of the Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, one of Putin’s successor candidates, “a person can wake up this morning and decide that he is no longer a man but a woman”. A check-up in a private clinic, at a price of 60,000 rubles, around 700 euros, is enough to go to the registry office and apply for sex reassignment surgery. “These citizens – adds Volodin – can get married and, God forbid, adopt a child”.
The Rise
The real reason for the initiative of the government and parliament is precisely the war: “There are more and more cases of men who avoid being sent to the front in this way,” according to the Duma. Communist Nina Ostanina, chair of the parliamentary commission on family, women and minors, confided in the Daily Telegraph that those who “cannot flee to Georgia or Kazakhstan go to a private clinic and get the cards they want”. Very popular sexologists, psychologists and psychiatrists authorized to formulate diagnoses of “transsexuality”. But soon the piece of paper will no longer be enough. That’s why Coming out, the main LGBT movement, recommends rushing into a gender reassignment job to prevent the new law from making it impossible or much more complicated. The Ministry of Health is also at work. Currently, after receiving the diagnosis with the attached “sex reassignment” certificate, valid for one year, one can change personal documents, from birth certificates to passports, and in the meantime, access HRT, hormone replacement therapy. Finally, he can be removed from any list for conscription or extraordinary mobilization. No risk of being sent or sent to the Donbass or to warmer regions to die like other tens and maybe hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Because, as Ukrainian intelligence has pointed out, the problem with the Russians isn’t that they don’t have enough ammunition, it’s that they don’t have enough soldiers willing to die for the cause. And to avoid being recruited, many are willing to pass themselves off as transgender.
