Russia has listed transsexual and transgender people among those who will no longer qualify for driving licences.Fetishism, exhibitionism and voyeurism are also included as "mental disorders" now barring people from driving.
The government says it is tightening medical controls for drivers because Russia has too many road accidents. Link.

LOL what?

Anyone care to defend this thinking?
 
Transsexuals cause road accidents, not drunks, at least according to Putin.

Was the guy driving the car in the video wearing a dress? I mean, Putin has his reasons.

This guy certainly wasn't... and he looks like a younger Putin. Certainly shows off some special martial arts abilities but no sign of transgender, transsexual behaviour (whatever that is)
 
During the tenure of Vladimir Putin, Russia has passed legislation directed against LGBT sexual orientation. The government also turns a blind-eye to the harassment of LGBT people.

Human Rights Watch | Russia: Impunity for Anti-LGBT Violence

DECEMBER 15, 2014
(Moscow) – Russian authorities have failed in their obligation to prevent and prosecute homophobic violence. Growing numbers of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people have been attacked and harassed across Russia in the lead-up and aftermath of the adoption of the federal anti-LGBT “propaganda” law in June 2013. The law effectively legalized discrimination against LGBT people and cast them as second-class citizens.

I've been to Russia once. That was enough. Thuggish bunch of no-necks like Putin. Despicable.

Good for them. Putin got one thing right at least.

Perverts should not be tolerated.

Mr Phelps, you're being outrageous just for the sake of being controversial. Your comment was almost funny in an ironic kind of way.
