I find it really really really hard to believe that there exists a person in this planet who:
1. Is transexual but does not tell anybody they are and it is also not blatantly obvious
2. Writes down in a health record they are transexual (instead of whatever sex they are now)
3. Someone doxxes they/them medical records
4. Because of 3, and only because of 3, people find out that said person is transexual
5. And then ... the government decides to persecute they/them
Let's be real, you're really stretching it here. You're talking about a 0.1% of a 0.1% of a 0.1% of a 0.1% of a 0.1% situation here.
