The transexualism does not fly in Russia, but emigrating and abandoning your starter family did until about 2014.
The real problem is a ton of 15-35 year olds grew up without fathers wealth or care because russian males 1993-2013 with any sort of skillset moved to the west, “became polish or germans by second marriage” for a EU work permit, leaving a starter family in the Russians welfare state were unless tied to the political system or the energy industry being poor is a female thing.
The US is having the same problem as Russia (and all of western Europe as well); very few want to deal with the uncertainty and risks associated with having children.
The US has been declining for decades because of this problem; this is not a Russian story, but a problem every modern, developed Western country faces.
