Zi Faámelu was born and raised in Crimea, an area of Ukraine that was invaded and taken over by Russia in 2014. Now the 31-year-old lives in Kyiv, the capital city that has been under Russian siege for nearly a week. She is running out of food and hasn't left her house for days as gunfire erupts outside.
And she says she can't leave.
Faámelu, who is transgender, said that transphobia is pervasive in the city and neighboring countries, and fears that if she leaves, the tension of the ongoing conflict will make her more susceptible to violence.

In the past, this would be an article from the Onion, pre Babylon Bee. Whoever wrote this needs mental health help. I hope this person the article is about understands that “trans” problems are First World problems, the kind of problems that vanish when the people around you are being shelled into the Stone Age. The woke are in for a huge surprise as things get tougher here. When the first world goes away, so does anyone’s tolerance for this woke crap.

Sorry, Zi. You've got a Y chromosome, and your passport says you're a male. Wipe off the makeup, ditch the dress and go out and grab a gun. Or go out as a female and grab a gun. Many of your "sisters" are.

Of course it would never occur to this idiot to simply change into "gender appropriate" clothing.

#10 and other "realists" on this thread: Obviously you're too bigoted to understand how oppressive "gender appropriate" clothing is to the trans community. To don the restrictions of "gender appropriate" clothing would inhibit the natural expression of self-hood. It would be a personal denial of their inner reality, which transcends their "assigned gender". It is heartless to demand they betray true reality, in order to conform to your petty understanding of an oppressive so-called "physical reality". Your social constructs cannot inhibit the true human dignity that is expressed by those living beyond the arbitrariness of an "assigned gender". It is unreasonable for cis people to deny the personal truths inherent within the reality of trans people. However, it is entirely reasonable for trans people to insist that cis people deny observable physical reality.
The preceding has been a public service equity announcement. It may or may not reflect the personal views of the commenter.

If I was fighting for the existence of my country, the last thing I'd give a you-know-what about is some tranny's issues. Maybe someone should explain to IT that the world doesn't revolve around IT and that IT can either get with the program or shut the you-know-what up!!

Reality bites. Identifying as a woman was a luxury he enjoyed before the Russian invasion. It's not "discrimination" or "transphobia" that is preventing this man from fleeing with women and children.
NO men are being allowed to leave. He's a biological male, burdened with same adult responsibilities every other able bodied biological male is expected to shoulder while Ukraine is under attack. There aren't any free passes for men who think they're women.

No such a thing as a "transgender woman". So, some mentally ill man is having a problem. Oh, well.

Notice how wherever they are, with the Alphabet-people [LGBTQAEIOU and sometime Y], they always make everything about themselves. The country is being invaded and destroyed, and he/she/it is worried about discrimination and their ID not matching their pretend gender.
