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.
