A new law in Russia designed to decrease traffic deaths will prohibit people with sexual preference and gender identity “disorders” from driving. The law gives authorities the power to ban transsexual and transgender people from driving. Also included in the ban are “mental disorders” such as fetishism, exhibitionism, voyeurism, compulsive theft or “pathological” gambling. Russian psychiatrists and human rights lawyers have said the law is an attack on human rights. The Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights called the practice “discriminatory”.
