I report the translation of parts of an article in the first Italian newspaper, Corriere della Sera:

Not only in Russia, but also in Ukraine, hundreds of transgender citizens are trying to find refuge in the EU, but have been stopped at the border and forced to go back to fight.

According to one of the country’s transgender human rights associations, about 90% of trans women who arrived at the border, and with only a passport that doesn’t represent them, they were forced to go back and smear weapons.

Many of these, in the haste to abandon their homes and cities under attack, have forgotten the documents at home. Many others have never chosen to continue with the long practice that in Ukraine would allow transgender people to legalize their new sex

The HPLGBT organization in recent days has also denounced the difficulty of many transgender citizens in finding medicines such as hormonal treatments, whose interruption is extremely harmful to health, and provided by the same NGOs to the people who remained in the country.

In the first days of the conflict, someone managed to escape, even without identity documents, now the controls have intensified, and with them also the extreme attempts to cross the border, such as the corruption that could cost them the prison. A fear not too large compared to that of being under the homophobic regime of Russia.
