Russian deputies from all five parties with parliamentary representation Today they have submitted to the Duma or the Chamber of Deputies a bill banning sex reassignment surgery.

If a law is adopted in Russia, doctors will be prohibited from “conducting interventions aimed at changing the sex” of a citizen of this country, Interfax reports.

The only exception will be operations to correct “anomalies in the formation of the sex of children.” and only after receiving the approval of the medical commissions of health care institutions at the federal level.

Deputy Chairman of the Duma Pyotr Tolstoy, a well-known propagandist of initiatives in defense of traditional morality, stressed that The project was supported by almost 400 parliamentarians out of 450. lower house of parliament.

law too proposes to ban gender reassignment in identity documents and other official certificates without surgery.

A few weeks ago, Minister of Justice Konstantin Chuychenko said that the authorities want to “legally exclude the possibility of changing the sex in the passport and other documents.”

He acknowledged that gender reassignment has been legal in that country since 1997, although the person concerned is not required to undergo an operation in order to be able to make this change on their identity document.

Between 2018 and last year, more than 2,700 Russians changed their gender in their documents, which led to almost 200 marriages.

For this reason, the minister argues, a person who has changed sex on paper, although physically remains the same, can marry and adopt children.

The 2020 constitutional reform introduced into the Magna Carta the concept of marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

“Gay marriages don’t produce children,” said Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin, who once preached against “genderless and barren” liberalism.

In this regard, the head of the family committee of the Duma or the Chamber of Deputies, Nina Ostanina, assured that some young Russians changed their gender in their documents so as not to be mobilized into the army.

“Unfortunately, the dynamics of gender reassignment is negative. Our youth, not ready for real life, with the start of the special operation, not only fled abroad, but also ran to change sex in order to avoid the threat of mobilization. This is the youth that we have trained, these are the values ​​that the West has imposed on us,” he said.

Putin, a professed believer who has introduced all sorts of measures and incentives since 2000 to counter the aging of the population, assured then that as long as he is president, there will be no same-sex marriages in Russia.
