The exposure of Sapir Berman, the first transgender referee in Israeli football, continues to arouse interest around the world as well.
Major media outlets in Europe quoted Berman as saying at a news conference on Tuesday, and the reactions were not long in coming.
Among the blessings was also Lucy Clark, a referee in the lower leagues in England who was the pioneer in the field, and is considered the first transgender referee in world football.
Clark, 50, who was born a man and underwent sex reassignment surgery in 2018, came out with her story that year, and has become a world-class story - like Sapir Berman now.

Clark said last night that while she was still having sexist and abusive reactions on the pitches, she did in one case get into a confrontation with a drunken fan who tried to hit her, but insisted that "surprisingly, my experience as a transgender football referee is quite positive. Most of the football world accepts me as I am" And he does not attach extraordinary importance to this, and I am being judged as a football referee. "
Clark sent a message to the bartender saying, "Tell her my name, she's going to be surprised at how she's accepted. When she sees her name on the game's show, when she's up on the grass and the announcer announces her name as a woman - she's free and happy. I'm sure she's great."
