Today, the evil Russians have [checked notes] banned surgeries promoting mental illness and are preventing people with mental illness based in perverted sexual fetishes from adopting kids.

Huh.

Russia's State Duma, the lower house of the parliament, unanimously approved the bill in its third and final reading.

The law seeks to introduce major amendments that outlaw any "medical interventions aimed at changing the sex of a person" and prohibit people from changing the gender marker in official documents or public records as well as becoming foster or adoptive parents.

The authorities will also be able to dissolve marriages involving people who previously "changed gender" even if this union is "of different sexes," the document says.

Of course, CBS says all this like it's a bad thing!

Two things can be true: Some things a country does can be evil, and some things a country does can be right and just. In the "land of the free," for example, we're sexualizing and sterilizing little kids, redefining marriage to include every combo of men and women (and for some, children), and creating different sets of laws for people based on skin color (white=bad).

"The Western transgender industry is trying to seep into our country, to open up the window for its multibillion-dollar business," Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy said at a recent hearing before launching a scaremongering tirade about the "network of sex change clinics with trans-friendly doctors" that allegedly target young people for profit.

The trans medical industry is massively profitable these days. But CBS says kids are being "allegedly" targeted for profit.

I'll just let you decide which side of Good vs. Evil this law falls on.
