Pure speculation: could this have been motivated, to any extent, by some desire to maintain a predictable portion of the population conscriptable, given that only men are conscripted?
The war isn't going quite in the way Putin would have hoped, after all.
No.
This is about social conformity and giving the public an enemy to hate.
I find it interesting and sad that yet again, our traitor politicians follow the same plan as Putin.
This time it was the other way around, Putin and his coneys never cared about it until culture war monsters from the west started their current round. There are some speculation that they started it with the help of russian troll farms, but it's hard to tell

Oh, all of them were always extremely homophobic, it's an oldest Russian tradition that come from prison culture. For the "deep russian", the part of russian culture that Putin represents, being gay is the worst thing that can happen. But they never focused on trans identities that much before
It's a drop in the bucket in that sense, but, what's a target of this law, yet another win over 'deranged west' and it's agenda.
Most of the time people with gender dysphoria don't even know what's that, can hardly find a community, realize they are not cis, start a course of costy tabs, believe they can aquire a legal status from that state – all that with still being there, working, meeting people.
