  • Transgender people in Lithuania continue to face systemic discrimination in the labour market, including open ridicule, isolation and psychological abuse, according to experts who spoke at a parliamentary discussion marking the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia.
  • A recent national survey also found that only 22% of Lithuanians would feel comfortable working with a transgender colleague. That number drops to 19% when it comes to a transgender person in a leadership role, and even lower if such a person worked at their child’s school.

    Thanks. I suspected something like that but didn’t know for sure. Autoritaian regimes always push for uniformity and child producing families. So anyone different is demonized.

      There always was this opposition to immoral/decadent west. A common joke was that there’s no sex in USSR. Despite a big push towards atheism and even persecution of christians, the culture and moral codex has largely remained Eastern Orthodox.
