That is definitely true, but gay and lesbian people are unfortunately going to get blamed for this because LGBT activists are in favour of transing children.

The whole transgender debate is a sinking ship that many gay and lesbian associations refuse to jump out of. When everything goes to shit, it will have a ripple effect that will affect not only the T but also the LGB by association, which is interesting since most of the trangenders today are straight.

By the way, WTF, Russia has self-ID laws? Is their government really that stupid?

Yes to both questions.

Only recently has any debate about limiting said self-id laws arrised.

I support the new law on ending gender recognition in Russia, but I am definitely against banning LGB people from fostering children.

It's not even a full ban but more like gatekeeping, which again is the same thing as genocide according to TRAs, so yeah...

The funniest thing of all? This was based more on the behaviour of western transgender it's ma'am-ists than on the actual russian public opinion in regards of transgenderism.

That does not surprise me. I see polls from countries that are more conservative than Russia, and according to these polls, most people in these countries support transgender rights. Maybe the polls are skewed, but I honestly believe that most people in those countries are just ignorant about transgenderism. I’d say it’s the same in Russia. Most Russians probably confuse transgender people with drag queens. Russians I’ve spoken to on Reddit have said that most Russians think that all gay men are effeminate and therefore think that MTFs are just next level gay. When they see a gay man who is masculine they tend to be surprised. I wonder if that is true.
