No, it seriously won't expand. You linked to a thumbnail.
In fact, you must be trolling. I just pulled up the page you grabbed it from and it is thumbnail-sized there, too. There is no larger version.

and yes it's not very big, but I can read it at both sizes (neither of which are large mind you).
(inb4 joke)
/shrugs I looked for a larger one earlier to no avail, try ctrl+ to zoom in or just let it go (inb4).

Nice to not see hate toward someone who is an admitted transgender in this thread.
On topic: Yay Russia for classifying things that are not mental illnesses as mental illnesses. -.-
If the US prohibited everyone with a diagnosis from driving, everyone would be driving without a valid license. Psychs toss that ***out like confetti.

Only people I hate is when they spread idiotic viewpoints and lies and call it "Truth and Justice." Even worse when they manage to destroy and silence any opposing viewpoint and counterargument as they come up.
All that does is bring about more idiotic viewpoints and affect the overall knowledge of society (downward). We are trying to advance as a society, not regress back to the Middle Ages!

DSM-5 definition of a mental illness said: A behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual
That reflects an underlying psychobiological dysfunction
The consequences of which are clinically significant distress (e.g., a painful symptom) or disability (i.e., impairment in one or more important areas of functioning)
Must not be merely an expectable response to common stressors and losses (for example, the loss of a loved one) or a culturally sanctioned response to a particular event (for example, trance states in religious rituals)
That is not primarily a result of social deviance or conflicts with society
A behavioral or psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in an individual? check
underlying psychobiological dysfunction? if you look at it as wrong body, that's a biological dysfunction, wrong mind it's a psychological dysfunction, check
clinically significant distress? yep, [insert suicide rates]
must not be an expectable response to common stressors [...] check
That is not primarily a result of social deviance or conflicts with society? check
not going to touch OP, but if you're going to argue it's not a mental disorder you're going to need to redefine mental disorder

Funny how a certain politically aligned group of people would promote this type of ban in the name of gun control, which kills less people per year than car accidents.
Although recently the two are coming closer to each other.

Remember not agreeing with someones' viewpoints =/= hating them either. A huge problem today that still remains is that people love to translate that into hate more than ever imo.
Always be willing to listen and at least understand from their view point, even though you may not agree.

I like to consider myself fairly open-minded- but as someone somewhere once said, don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.
I agree that hating someone because of something like that is HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.
I'd prefer to save such strong feelings for those who actually earn it.
I disagree with transgenderism as a psychological dysfunction except possibly in the broadest sense of the term dysfunction, though. To me, that's like saying that I'm dysfunctional because I am female and identify as female.
It's simply the way some people are.
The fact that it causes depression and increased suicide rates is largely (in my opinion) the result of society rejecting that which doesn't fit "normal".
That, to me, is a societal problem, not a mental problem. If we (we = people as a whole) didn't reject differences, it wouldn't be a problem.

Always be willing to listen and at least understand from their view point, even though you may not agree. See, you take it one step further than most people. I try to understand their viewpoints too (if it's a reasonable argument).
Most people here, especially in a certain political orientation (either declared or not, their viewpoints put them in that political orientation, and most of them don't even admit that they are in that political orientation), wouldn't listen to you unless you absolutely agree with them 150%.

Please, we all know that the world's going to end in 2025 anyway. Actually I picked 2029, because that's when 'the machines will convince us that they are conscious, that they have their own agenda worthy of our respect. They'll embody human qualities, they'll claim to be human, and we'll believe them.'

I don't hate you. Sometimes I think you're a douche, but not hate.
I mean that in the nicest possible fashion. <3

Russia says drivers must not have 'sex disorders'
Quote: Russia has listed transsexual and transgender people among those who will no longer qualify for driving licences.
Fetishism, exhibitionism and voyeurism are also included as "mental disorders" now barring people from driving.
The government says it is tightening medical controls for drivers because Russia has too many road accidents.
"Pathological" gambling and compulsive stealing are also on the list. Russian psychiatrists and human rights lawyers have condemned the move.
The announcement follows international complaints about Russian harassment of gay-rights activists.
New Russian Regulation Says Transgender People Unfit to Drive
Quote: Transgender people may no longer be allowed to drive cars in Russia under new road safety regulations signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
A decree published on the government website earlier this month lists an array of health conditions that can disqualify someone from getting behind the wheel, among them "personality and behavioral disorders" listed in the World Health Organization's classification of diseases.
The sections in question — F60 to F69 — name transsexualism and transvestism, along with other "disorders of sexual preference," such as fetishism and voyeurism. "Disorders associated with sexual development and orientation" are also listed.
The new road safety rules are "aimed at reducing the death rate from traffic incidents" in the country, a government note accompanying the decree said. It did not specify how being genderqueer could limit a person's ability to drive safely.
The Association of Russian Lawyers for Human Rights lambasted the new rules as violations of the Russian Constitution, saying in an online statement that the decree deprives "all transgender people, bigender, asexuals, transvestites, cross-dressers [and] people who need a sex reassignment" of the right to drive.
