"The hell on earth called Russia": One trans woman's story

True story of transsexual girl and her girlfriend from Russia who are desperately seeking after asylum in Europe

I was born in Arkhangelsk, North-West Russia; in 1975. Call me Kim.

[...]

As far as I remember myself, I always felt myself trapped in an alien body. I mean I was always sure that I am really a girl, not a boy. I had no any chance for permanent employment, and I had to change places for living often. I mean misunderstanding and even persecution, as from employers as from neighborhood. I could not stay in my native town: no place for living, no job, and constant mobbing. I had no way out except to try a chance to hide my past and begin a new life at elsewhere other place; in spite that actually in Russia people's rights for freedom of moving are seriously restricted (notorious PROPISKA).
