Trans women are reportedly being denied passage to safer countries, despite their legal status as women and the danger posed by Russia’s transphobic policies
The headline is technically correct but the sub line under it and the article make that implication. The trans people quoted in the article seem more concerned with getting the fuck out of the warzone then what the russians will do.
At this point the premise of that implication is fundamentally flawed to me because it's starting to look like either Ukraine will turn into a forever insurgency or Russia will wait until they have enough leverage and get a deal pushed through (Donbass, crimea agreement, neutrality status ect)
So this question "how will Russia treat lgbt people after the war" makes no sense to me unless I'm wrong and Russia somehow wins this war by total conquest
Edit: and let's not forget all the terf shit the guardian has allowed to be published. Talk about bad faith
