    Pure speculation: could this have been motivated, to any extent, by some desire to maintain a predictable portion of the population conscriptable, given that only men are conscripted?

    The war isn’t going quite in the way Putin would have hoped, after all.

      It’s a drop in the bucket in that sense, but, what’s a target of this law, yet another win over ‘deranged west’ and it’s agenda.

      Most of the time people with gender dysphoria don’t even know what’s that, can hardly find a community, realize they are not cis, start a course of costy tabs, believe they can aquire a legal status from that state – all that with still being there, working, meeting people. It was a surprise to many this loophole existed. And it’s still required a doc confirming you have a mental illness.

      Cis men won’t even try that for our right-wing politics and propaganda, they would rather break a leg than that, or just wait it out.

      And no, there are a lot of people still availiable for service. Minority of transwomen wouldn’t do any weather. But I’m fucking crumble inside imagining any of them being mobilized into a typical men environment. It’s a death sentence.
