Putin, Cancel Culture, And Transphobia
When Putin criticizes the so-called "gender freedoms" he reveals himself to be less forward thinking than the mullahs in Iran who approve of gender reassignment surgery for people who genuinely identify with the gender opposite of what they are born. OTOH maybe he doesn't believe in that crap and it's just a cynical ploy to appeal to those immersed in the culture wars. Vivre et laisser vivre.
