Russia has listed transsexual and transgender people among those who will no longer qualify for driving licences.
Fetishism, exhibitionism and voyeurism are also included as "mental disorders" now barring people from driving.
The government says it is tightening medical controls for drivers because Russia has too many road accidents.
"Pathological" gambling and compulsive stealing are also on the list. Russian psychiatrists and human rights lawyers have condemned the move.
The announcement follows international complaints about Russian harassment of gay-rights activists.
In 2013 Russia made "promoting non-traditional lifestyles" illegal.

Putin is a crazy closet case.
Mayor Ireton will have to walk to work lol.
Keep in mind up until several years ago, these sorts of behaviors were considered a mental illness in the USA. It wasn't until the politically correct got to the Psychiatric Association that the diagnosis of sexual identity disorders were dropped from their diagnostic manuals...
Homosexuality is a proven mental illness.
