Putin Signs Gender Reassignment Ban Into Law - The Moscow Times
www.themoscowtimes.comPresident Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a controversial law that bans legal and surgical sex changes, a move that deprives transgender Russians of the right to access gender-affirming services. The law, which makes "medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person" and "the state registration of a change of gender without an operation" illegal, was swiftly passed by both houses of the Russian parliament earlier this month. The law also bans individuals who have undergone gender reassignment from adopting children and annuls marriages in which one of the partners is transgender. It enters into force immediately upon its publishing on the government website.
Naw, it’s more like these systems were built by elites to create conditions favorable to themselves. Racism in its modern form was a long term project to prevent tax revolters and enslaved people from joining up, at least in the US. Billionaires today still benefit from and create these conditions, so I find the meme pretty valid. It’s not that bigotry is less important, it’s that they are the same thing. You can’t fight the economic fight without fighting the racial justice fight… You’ll just undercut yourself. You need the gender equality flight and the immigrants rights fight and the disability rights s fights too… Leaving out anyone gives the billionaires an opportunity to undercut and win.
