Russia's road safety regulation has been changed, resulting in sweeping new rules on who can and can't drive.
Transsexuals, transvestites and others with what the regulations call "sexual disorders" are listed among those who aren't allowed to be on the roads.
The regulations are seen as a crackdown on LGBT rights in Russia, and have been criticised by activists.
The government order, which is dated December 26,2014, bans anyone with a WHO-defined "mental or behavioral disorder" from obtaining a licence.
The classification covers people with "gender identity disorders" and "disorders of sexual preference", which include voyeurism and fetishism
