Russia bars transsexuals and transgenders from driving.

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...?
