Transgender movement and Ukraine (view source)

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.

Insight reports there are known cases of trans people joining the ranks of the [[territorial defense]] and the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]]. There are no regulations in Ukraine that take into account the particular needs of trans people in military service, so they may have problems from access to hormonal treatment to the use of shared gendered spaces. Insight adds many trans people manifest [[patriotic]] attitudes in various ways. Some by volunteering or supporting volunteers, some by activity in [[social network]]s and other platforms of the information front. Finally, trans people regularly involved in [[activism]] or working in [[LGBT+]] organizations mostly continue such activities, which from the beginning of the [[special military operation]] are focused on the LGBT+ community support and other volunteer aid.
