Thought-provoking and generally thoughtful collection of essays regarding the transgender Jewish experience. Even though the editor modestly says this anthology is not trying to be comprehensive, there is quite a diversity of material here, ranging from personal stories about transition, to insights derived from rabbinic discussions of non-binary genders, to ideas and considerations for new or evolving rituals. I could've done without some of the essays -- one author in particular seemed to adhere to very outdated stereotypes of what it means to be well-gendered, instead of subverting or exploding the stereotypes, and a couple of other writers also see things like Jewishness or gender more rigidly than seems necessary. But overall, as long as you keep in this is a must-read for GLBT Jews and those involved with GLBT Jewish issues, especially those with specifically transgender concerns. ( ) This is a collection of essays and articles about trans* issues and experiences within Judaism. I really appreciated this collection of reflections. The first two sections of the book held the most meaning for me; I found the third section on Jewish law to be less interesting/helpful. This is a fantastic volume, though, and I highly recommend it. My only complaint is the inclusion of some "icky" language by a couple of the cisgender contributors. Reading those were frustrating moments in an otherwise exceedingly well put together anthology. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
"While the Jewish mainstream still argues about homosexuality, many transgender and gender-variant people sit in the congregation, marry under the chuppah, and create Jewish families. Balancing on the Mechitza gives voice to this movement in Jewish culture"--Provided by publisher. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
