Bravo!!

Thank you so much for saying all this!! I wish I could have been there in person to hear it! This is something everyone needs to hear!!

As a transgender woman with a Jewish soul, I spent way too many years trying to fit in with the rest of my "peers". I have spent the last 13+ years reclaiming my identity. I transitioned (10 years ago tomorrow was the day I got my name and gender marker legally changed) and I'm near the end of my conversion to Judaism, having only the beis din and mikveh to go. Being myself over the last year or so has been the most meaningful and rewarding experiences in my entire life!!
