  That is apparently not true[1]. The Health Ministry has denied widespread reports that transvestites and transsexuals could lose their rights to drive in Russia based on a new road safety decree. Although the decree provides for the disqualification of driving rights for certain individuals with psychological or behavioral disorders, the mere fact that a person has a "sexual disorder" does not mean that person cannot drive, Health Ministry spokesman Oleg Salagai explained Tuesday in comments carried by Interfax.

  Everybody in the Western world that supports increased surveillance says "I don't have a 'sex disorder', and we're no more likely to elect Vladimir Putin or his local equivalent than Adolf Hitler"... Arguments against surveillance are on much better footing when based on actual misuse of power by authorities and their employees in the UK and similar countries than hypothetical scenarios involving the election of autocrats. Frankly, if the UK elects an avowedly anti-democratic ex-spy chief with a fondness for populist social conservatism in the next decade, we'll get a much worse version of the Communications Data Bill, and ISPs already holding records of my browsing habits is going to be the least of my problems.
