What are your thoughts on a Russian poetry prize banning entries from transgender people? Why is Russia so transphobic?

Russia seems hell-bent on re-inventing itself as a mustache-twirling cartoon villain on the world stage, in every possible dimension: economically, politically, militarily, socially. Their overarching aim seems to be, “Is it pointlessly malevolent? Yeah yeah yeah, let’s do that!”

And for whatever reason, today’s Republican and Tory parties seem to be all about “ooh, that Putin is so dreamy, we sure do like that, let’s do the same thing!”

At least the Tories aren’t openly fellating Putin the way the Republicans are.

Why do some people refuse to explain their actions or behavior when asked? Why do they claim to not know the reason instead of providing an explanation?
