Ukraine, transgender women fleeing rejected at the border: "They are men, they must return to fight" by Giulia Taviani
Hundreds of transgender citizens are trying to find refuge outside Ukraine, but have been stopped at the border and forced to turn back to fight.
They feel like women, they have a completely feminine appearance and their community recognizes them as such, but not their passport, where the masculine name is still in bold, and next to the gender entry is still engraved the "M".
Two words that in recent weeks weigh heavily on hundreds of transgender women fleeing the war in Ukraine.
According to the martial law in force, male citizens between 18 and 60 years old are forced to stay to serve in the military and defend Ukraine. And among them, therefore, also certified trans men or trans women without any certificate confirming the change.
The latest news on the war in Ukraine
Judis, a transgender woman interviewed by the Guardian, said she felt terror when she arrived at the Ukrainian border: "The guards undress you and touch you everywhere. You can see their faces asking 'what are you?' as if you were some kind of animal or something." Some pulled her hair back to check that she was not a wig.
According to one of the country's transgender human rights groups, about 90% of trans women who arrived at the border, and with only a passport that does not represent them, were forced to go back and take up arms.
Olena Shevchenko, human rights defender and president of Insight, one of the few Ukrainian LGBTQ+ public associations, denounces discrimination at the border against transgender people more generally: "It seems that Ukrainian border guards are also preventing trans people with a valid certificate, reflecting their new gender, from leaving the country, and no one knows why." This is the case of Judis, a trans woman, who was prevented from entering Poland, after a long check in the border offices, despite that F next to the word gender.
Many of them, due to the haste to leave their homes and cities under attack, have forgotten their documents at home, while many others have never chosen to continue with the long practice that in Ukraine would allow transgender people to legalize their new sex.
According to Ukrainian law, in fact, changing gender and name is only the last step in a path made of psychiatric evaluations, hospitalization and a lot of bureaucracy. Despite the fact that since 2017 trans people have been legally recognized, all this pushes many citizens not to get to the bottom of the practice and stay with the original documents, and therefore incorrect.
According to the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association, Ukraine ranks 39th out of 49 European countries for the overall treatment of LGBTQ+ people. Moreover, the Orthodox Christian Church does not allow gay marriages, just as they are not legal for the state, and indeed, considers homosexuality a sin.
The organization Hplgbt in recent days has also denounced the difficulty of many transgender citizens in finding medicines such as hormonal treatments, the interruption of which is extremely harmful to health, and provided by the same NGOs to people remaining in the country. Someone in the early days of the conflict managed to escape, even without identity documents, but now the controls have intensified, and with them also the extreme attempts to cross the border, such as corruption that could cost them prison. A fear not too great compared to that of being under the homophobic regime of Russia.
Janice, Janice, Janice, do you know why Ukraine is bigoted towards gays and why there is no gay marriage? I'll give you the real scoop, not the misinformation you've been fed by your so-called credible sites to make you "feel good." The gays would be killed by the Neo-nazi's in Ukraine, they detest the gay lifestyle and get quite violent in their response to gay stuff. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
