True, but there are definitely places where it's much better to be trans than others, and Russia's near the bottom of the pack.

And even then, if you don't support Putin you'll probably be accidently falling out a window.

It’s also tough being a Slavic Russian, but still worse to be of any other ethnic group in Russia I think.

Not really, there are no laws prohibiting any ethnicity to work in the government. Ethnic language and culture is allowed and supported in these ethnic regions.

Official Russian sources stated that draft took place mainly in central and western regions. And well, Victoria Maladaeva is stating all this information while living abroad, so I wouldn't trust her.
