Russia bans gender reassignment surgery
(www.rt.com)
Restricting, not banning.
The vote was unanimous. Meaning that every communist representative voted for this.
The modern KPRF are a shill party used as controlled opposition by a capitalist liberal majority.
It’s beyond sad to see how far the party has fallen.
i never did support russia's government. now i have even less reason to.
It's not banned, just restricted.
as if this absolves them of anything.
it's only as bad as in China, adults can still change gender.
From Russia's POV, Western imperialism and LGBTQ+ has become synonymous, and this was no accident. Just look at the Lockheed Martin funded pride march from a while ago...
Edit: I'm not trying to make the claim that Western imperialism and LGBTQ+ are synonymous, rather I'm commenting on how Western capitalists have co-opted LGBTQ+ movements and imageries, and this would have the effect of compelling Russia, or other global south countries who sees this, to stray towards a less LGBTQ+ tolerant direction.
I've read various comments on Reddit and Lemmygrad stating that the LGBTQ+ movement is heavily pushed by the state to provide a distraction to the workers from their economic immiseration.
I don't know how true that conjecture is, but it does feel really unsettling how much the imperialists are pushing for it.
LGBT+ people aren't an "agenda". Yes, it's true that the state tries to co-opt their identity to pink wash itself, but like with any sort of radical history, it tends to get co-opted.
Look into the history of events like Compton cafateria and Stonewall. LGBT+ history is just as much a part of worker history as any other group's.
I'm not rejecting the validity of the struggle of LGBT+ people. I'm simply giving an observation I made and lightly commenting on it.
