Huh. This is something I did not know (but then, I am not a Talmudic scholar) The Talmud recognizes 8 genders. https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/the-eight-genders-in-the-talmud/
@Arachne I don't really see the discussion about choice there. Of course you can discuss gender in these contexts, but I don't think these rabbis were discussing gender.
I'd rather a discussion about trans, nonbinary and genderqueer Jews wasn't based on these rabbis' ideas, to be honest. I'd rather question gender roles within the tradition and make everything more inclusive.
@noam
I also see it as a reclaiming of religion from these asswipes and parallel to discussions of abortion and how it is portrayed in Jewish law.
Which is another point - Judaism is a legalistic religion, so the way concepts in commentary are presented is in very legalistic ways. Again, I am not presenting this as how it should be approached today, just a counterpoint to their crap.
Of course, Jews are suspect and othered by the same people, but again not the audience.
