Which author?
The author of the piece you posted doesn’t have a good grasp of Judaism.
In what way? And are you saying the prohomosexual author does?
If you see someone obviously wounded, bleeding and crying for help, do you help or ignore them?
Obviously you help them. Including helping then to see what the cause of their suffering is, and warning others of the consequences of disobeying God. Just what is your objection and your argument?
Though you or this author may not understand, that's exactly what this rabbi is doing with the transgenders. It's called mitzvah.
And yes, even Orthodox Judaism teachings include understanding HaShem as feminine and masculine in abstract concepts.
You mean help them justify being transgender by making God into the same?! How is justifying sins helping anyone? Do you want to argue that it is not? Please answer clearly.

That spirit has no gender is not the same thing as making humans transgender. It was God who created them male and female, and only joined them in marriage, and acting according to the disorders cause by the Fall of man cannot be justified.
If you wish to learn more about Judaism, I can recommend a few books.

You're confused.

A poor excuse for lack of argument.
Hashem created a beautiful world and it's our responsibility to preserve life. May those suffering from gender dysphoria seek this rabbi and learn for themselves how much Hashem loves and forgives them.
God's love for us sinners does not translate into approval for either our disordered condition or the actions that flow out of it. But there is room at the cross for all who will come to the promised Is. 53 Messiah, sent by the Father, with repentant faith for salvation, and then follow Him. Glory to God.
Hashem forgives all who atone on the same day every year.
Many forget the covenant.
You have no valid priesthood and blood sacrifice for which the day of atonement pertains to.
Begins sundown on October 11.
Not according to the Law.
And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. (Leviticus 16:5)
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat. And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the Lord's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering. (Leviticus 16:8-9)
But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. (Leviticus 16:10)
Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness. (Leviticus 16:15-16)
And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the Lord. (Leviticus 16:29-30)
Vayikra aka Torat Kohamim. So much lost through translations that some believe it’s no longer in effect.
I’m sometimes asked by those who don’t adhere to Judaism what an appropriate sacrifice they should make for Yom Kippur.
My typical response is “sacrifice your idolatry.”
Care to detail?
That will not do. If you cannot personally answer me then move on.
