There are Russian men who become women to avoid going to war, what do you think of that?

I would seriously question the validity of that story considering Russia's significantly less tolerant views (to put it mildly) on transgenderism compared to western nations- it would be just short of 1930s Germans converting to Judaism to avoid invading Poland in terms of illogical decisionmaking.

In fact, until very recently it was easier to change sex in Russia than in many Western countries.

But following the increase in sex changes to avoid war, Putin has recently passed decrees to prevent this from happening.

smart move on their behalf. no amount of shame tactics will convince them that possibly dying is a better alternative to staying alive

why subject yourself to be a disposable sacrificial lamb for a government/society that doesn't care about you?

in the past, when someone wanted to be a leader, they led from the front, not from the back and certainly didn't demand leadership because of identity politics and equality of outcome

Yes, but it's so sad to be forced to become a woman to avoid war.

I don’t think you’re following the war closely. Their officers ARE leading from the front and they are getting picked off. It’s causing dissension and disarray.

@love_conquers_lust the "leaders" I'm referring to is the government

Sounds better than dying in Ukraine for the benefit of Biden, Zelenskyy and Putin. Wars are all about money.

Yes so true , but it's so sad to be forced to become a woman to avoid war.

Seems like a risky choice. Especially since Russia is a hellhole for LGBTQ people, even long before the war.

Draft dodging. Putin is going to run out of eligible men and the M:F ratio in the country will only get worse. War has never benefitted women.

That’s how you know you’re going to lose. If I were Putin, I’d take my billions and exile myself. We would prob give him his own island if we could end this stupid war.

[Jkgordon]

It has nothing to do with the war

[gorydetails]

Sounds like propaganda.
