Russian parliament approved in first reading an awful law which effectively bans legal gender recognition and trans health care in the country:

"On May 30, a bill was introduced to the parliament. If it is adopted, changing gender markers in documents and gender-affirmative surgeries will become impossible in Russia. It can be adopted in a month and transgender people in Russia are in panic. Those who have not changed their documents yet are trying to do it ASAP and trans organizations are doing all they can to help them. Still many trans people won't be able to change the docs in time - we are particularly talking about trans teens. We can't even imagine how many of them will commit suicide instead of living in a wrong gender without any hope. Please, share this information with your friends, make a post about it, and contact your local LGBTQ+ organization. Show your solidarity with trans people of Russia in this Pride Month!"
