Fyodor Laptev (Russian: Фёдор Лаптев; born 1992, Volgodonsk, Russia) is a Russian intersex human rights activist who held the first intersex picket in Russia.[1][2]
Early life[edit]
Fyodor Laptev was born in 1992 in Volgodonsk. As a teenager, Laptev was sent for a physical examination during which a geneticist discovered that he has Klinefelter syndrome.
Laptev states that medical staff told his mother “Your son has Klinefelter's syndrome. He's something like a boy and like a girl both - in general, something incomprehensible”.[1] Laptev was told “You will die fast! Well, you will live up to a maximum of 26-27 years”. As a result of such words Laptev became psychologically traumatised and made several suicide attempts. During one such attempt, Laptev's life was saved by the founder of ARSI, Alexander Berezkin.[1]
Laptev is openly gay.
Activism[edit]
On October 26, 2016, the day of visibility of intersex people, Laptev held the first picket in Russia in support of intersex people in St. Petersburg.[2][3][4]
Laptev wrote to Putin making a request for a third gender marker in identity documents, but this was refused.[1]
