Look, I don't talk about this much. But I'm a person who's been in love with Orthodox Judaism since I was a teenager. And the denomination's insistence on its own queerphobia and anti-feminism has fully pushed me out, and so many others as well.

So one of the most popular things on Netflix is a comedian delegitimizing trans people and siding with TERFs. Texas is passing a law effectively banning trans youth from sports. I would like to say very loudly that transness is not only legitimate but beautiful, and sacred.

But there turned out to be no healthy way for me to do this. And I really don't think that's because of what Jewish laws and values fundamentally are. I think it's because contemporary Orthodoxy has freely chosen to insist on queerphobia and anti-feminism as core elements.
