Reply to comment by Gyftycf in Israel's Netanyahu says he has formed new government by PoliticiansAlwaysLie

As an Israeli trans woman let me phrase it like this: chuckle I'm in danger

Edit: why is this getting downvoted 💀💀

It is NOT my intention to disrespect you, or your choices, or feelings. And so I ask the next questions honestly,

how are you in danger? i.e. What is the next government planning that endangers you?

I understand that the incoming government may not be as supportive of your choices, but how much will they actually change that affects you, and how much of what they change will put you in actual danger, and what sort of danger? (I have heard similar comments, but no specifics/details, and have not yet had the opportunity to ask someone who identifies as part of this group)

One of the far right parties already talking about canceling trans healthcare (in Israel it is known as "The Committee") which is in charge of surgeries, hrt, and the change of the gender mark in trans folks ID. If they get their way and the committee gets out of the general universal healthcare or even demonized it can lead to a lot of problems for trans folks mostly because the general public just don't care enough about trans people here, they just think of them as part of the lgbt community and that's it
