I legitimately can’t imagine how awful it must be to be trans in Russia. Well, pretty much anywhere really, now that I think of it. Trans people just can’t catch a break. I feel so bad for them.
Not really, there are no laws prohibiting any ethnicity to work in the government. Ethnic language and culture is allowed and supported in these ethnic regions.
I have no idea what it’s like to have gender dysphoria, but I’d imagine they’d just not come out. But idk how that works, or if they’re willing to get bullied by like every Russian ever.
It can affect everyone differently but not coming out and getting things done can lead to terrible mental health and depression, leading to suicide. Transitionning is the only way we know to supress those symptoms.
That isn’t entirely true. Transitioning is very recent idea. Being trans and transitioning is also intimately tied to pharma capital complex.
There were many ways of being queer and trans which have been erased over time. Simply consider the native American stuff and also Indian motions of hijra.
You and me both, fam. I can’t even imagine how it must be for a trans person to live in the US south - it is just mind-baffling to think of what it must be in other countries that barely even recognize any of those rights or are even outright hostile to the identity.
I can’t speak for every trans person in the South, but for me, it’s pretty fucking awful.
Part of it is my area(lot of old white conservatives). They really don’t give a fuck. I have had to listen to 10 minute rants about gender politics because they want a pink gender reveal cake.
We did multiple cake variations for Valentine’s. All stick figures. We “dared” to put rainbows on a couple of them. We had to get rid of them because people complained about STICK FIGURES under rainbows.
I have to make sure I’m in a safe place to even begin feeling like myself.

Here in Ontario is pretty good for me as a trans person, well at least in terms of my being trans. I feel fortunate.
I’m glad you feel comfortable in Ontario. I hope we can keep it that way here.
True, but there are definitely places where it’s much better to be trans than others, and Russia’s near the bottom of the pack.
Russia is a tough place to be human
Unless you are a white straight russian man
I’m sure all the teenagers getting drafted to die in Ukraine agree!
It’s also tough being a Slavic Russian, but still worse to be of any other ethnic group in Russia I think.

Oh cool, so there’s no racism in Russia, then? /s

For the record, I tried not coming out for about 25 years and it wrecked my mental health and increased my depression. :(
