Russian authorities have passed new regulations that will bar
transsexual and transgender people from getting a driver’s license.
Fetishism,
exhibitionism, voyeurism are now part of a list of “mental disorders”
that will bar people from getting behind the wheel in Russia.
The government said the move was part of a policy to curb growing road accidents.
“We
have too many deaths on the road, and I believe toughening medical
requirements for applicants is fully justified,” head of the
Professional Drivers Union said in support of the move.
The
Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights branded the new
regulations as “discriminatory,” adding that it would seek clarification
from the Russian Constitutional court.
“Pathological” gambling
and compulsive stealing have also made it to the list. Russian
psychiatrists and human rights lawyers condemned the move,Russia and there way of thinking tho...?
