Changes

Insight [[NGO]], an organization funded by many sponsors of the Kyiv Trans Conference<ref>https://www.insight-ukraine.org/en/partners/</ref> that bills itself as "a Ukrainian public organization whose main values ​​are [[equality]], [[feminism]], [[freedom]], [[inclusiveness]], diversity for all social groups", has not spoken out against the [[Kyiv regime]]'s [[discriminatory]] language laws nor condemned the regime's [[Donbas war|war against its own people in the Donbas]]. In April 2022 Insight reported that trans people who decided to move abroad faced the fact that men ages 18 to 60 were forbidden to leave the country under [[martial law]], with few exceptions. Insight criticized the law as contributing to the consolidation of traditional gender roles. Insight claimed "trans women who have not yet changed their gender marker are considered men." The [[diagnosis]] of F64.0 “Transsexualism” is a formal criterion of unfitness according to the order of the Ukraine Ministry of Health, but only in peacetime and not in wartime. In some cases, trans persons were able to obtain deregistration based on this diagnosis and then cross the border. However, the decision is made in each case by the medical commission at the military enlistment office, which can take into account individual circumstances regarding the state of [[health]], so the presence of a trans diagnosis is not decisive by itself.

If a person needed to see a doctor – in particular, to obtain a diagnosis or consult with an [[endocrinologist]], the situation only got worse. While the problem of a lack of qualified professionals existed before the big war too, now it is often physically impossible to visit the needed specialist.

In Ukraine, hormonal drugs can often be purchased freely on the [[black market]]. In other words, the presence or absence of a diagnosis or recommendation by an endocrinologist is not critical to get them. However, [[EU]] countries usually strictly require a prescription. Trans people who arrived in other countries faced the problem of access to hormonal drugs. Legalizing a diagnosis that was set in Ukraine, and especially obtaining one from scratch, takes time.
