Dear trans people who found out about Judaism’s positing of eight genders,
If you think Judaism sounds like a thing that might work for you, that’s cool, you are welcome to inquire, but Jews have a VERY DIFFERENT perspective on applicants than Christianity.

Finally, I’m getting my hair done this weekend. I have been needing it for forever. That’s why you’re not seeing so many selfies.

Elmer Fudd is in bed with a beautiful woman, but she's sad. She says she feels all alone in the world. Elmer says, "The treatment is simple. The great bunny Bugs is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." And the woman bursts into tears. Says, "But Elmer...I am Bugs Bunny."

I am fine with just three names on my government ID. But I feel good every time I tell people both my middle names, though one is really nerdy in its English spelling. And I often pronounce them in Hebrew. Which apparently sounds extra exotic.
The Hebrew chai in the first one is ingratiating.

Trump couldn't manage Afghan and gave it to Taliban. Biden aided Afghan refugees for humanitarian reasons bcz the U.S. is responsible for the mess created by Trump. now he is trying to expel those people and blaming Biden. he is always creating the problem, throwing it away, and blaming others.

Over 200 men were sent by Kristi Noem-in violation of a court order-to the CECOT prison for terrorists
She claimed they were criminals. In reality, most had no criminal records, and many had valid claims for asylum
They were tortured. Beaten. Sexually abused. Even shot.
THERE MUST BE JUSTICE

I don’t think queer people should be forcibly outed. UNLESS they’re right wing politicians who are working to strip the civil rights and justice from other queer people. In that case, they deserve no protection.
So about Madison Cawthorn…

I had no idea Elliot Page had been outed without his consent. It’s pure conjecture, but I speculate that Ratner doing that probably was why Trump called for this endorsement as part of his Kulturkampf.
Not a joke: Trump just greenlit RUSH HOUR 4. It will be directed by Brett Ratner, a pig of a human being who has been accused of sexual assault by six women. He also harassed Elliot Page and outed him. Disgusting and depressing on so many levels I don't know where to start.

I’m annoyed I missed this thread when @delafina777.bsky.social wrote it. But it’s excellent, and I feel like my experiences with educating about and experiencing Judenhass helped me a lot in coming to terms with facing transphobia
I think part of the difficulty some people have getting their heads around how antisemitism actually works has to do with the fact that in some ways it maps more closely to homophobia and transphobia than anti-Black racism or religious discrimination.

I will have to visit my local university to see if I can get a chance to read this on a day off.
“Unheroic Conduct” by Daniel Boyarin contains a great overview of the history of Jews being gender-suspect in the Christian/gentile imagination.

Wow, Trump thought he was going to spirit Bolsonaro to the US to keep him out of serving time in prison, then apparently gave up on the guy after finding out the escape attempt had been foiled.
