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.

How should one handle a situation where they suspect their partner of cheating, but their partner denies it and claims it is all in their head?
