In March 2018, a trans man applied to the registry office for a change of birth certificate and a change of personal identification number. The registrar head demanded that a trans man show his genitals and chest to her to prove that he is a transgender. Of course, the trans man refused to show his body. The head of the registry office of the Sverdlovsk district insisted and took the man to the basement room, asked to show the binder, then the chest and his vagina.
