Were you out as trans to the Rabbi who managed your conversion? I'm Jewish and trans too (from birth tho), and I'm interested to know how it worked for you
I'm still in the process, but I have so far not told anyone about my being trans. I don't know... I just don't feel as though I need to qualify my manhood, if that makes sense. I've been finding in many of the largely cishet jewish spaces that I'm in that I feel more accepted even when I'm stealth than when I'm in non-jewish cishet spaces, so I really don't find it that big of a deal to make it Known. Obviously, it may be different when it comes to my rabbi, and it'll likely come up because I want to look into maybe an alternative to a brit (not out of requirement, out of my own want)... If you couldn't tell, I'm still trying to figure out what I want haha!
I guess the long and short of it is... It just works for me? It's rather boring the way it's been for me, and for that, I really am grateful. I know it's not the same for everyone, and I want to make it clear that this can absolutely coexist with having a really boring, uneventful experience with this.
#ask#jumblr#jew by choice#jewish conversion#personal thoughts tag#i also think part of this is because i am so tired of having to have a Coming Out moment#and also... i generally prefer cishet spaces that don't make a big deal put of Being Inclusive#in my experience some of the worst cishet-dominated spaces i have been in were ones that were more concerned about optics#and *appearing* to be inclusive rather than just... Being Inclusive#my shul has been pretty decent about Being inclusive rather than just Saying they are#this long answer is mostly because i'm still working through what i want and thinking out loud can help sometimes#i by no means am trying to justify my experiences or thoughts#but i will likely come out to my rabbi which will most likely go over well. he's been giving green flags from the start#and the program that we're part of has you put pronouns down when you sign up LOL#i'm like. one of only three he/hims LMAOOOO
