So does that mean my girlfriend is also to blame for the war just because she happened to be born in Russia? She’s against Putin herself, but there’s not much she can do about it because, as a trans woman, she’s persecuted by that shitty state simply for existing. If she protested, they’d kill her. Why should she now be barred from at least pursuing her hobby and submitting patches for software projects?

I understand that your girlfriend is a victim of same regime (and I am sorry for that, genuinely), but she may or may not be a part of it depending on circumstances.

Make no mistake - this has nothing to do with nationality or ethnicity, and everything with ones actions. Just answer me this - you say "She’s against Putin". What does it mean? Does she fight with other russian volunteers for Armed Forces of Ukraine? Does she sabotage logistics alongside partisans? Provide intelligence? Does she pay taxes in russia? Like, how is her 'being against Putin' is reflected on reality?

P.S.You nickname says 'Random German', so you should know a thing or two about systemic complicity, clean Wehrmacht myth etc. I would love to hear your opinion on what is her role in it.

    Are you doing any of that? No? Than you may be a part of it based on your comment.
