Earlier this month, 13-year-old Tom Sosnik, wearing a tallit and holding a kiddush cup, marked a transition into manhood with a special ceremony at his Jewish day school. He wasn’t celebrating receiving a first prayer book or a first Bible, or graduating from one grade to another. He wasn’t really observing his bar mitzvah, either. In what was a decidedly nontraditional event, the short-haired teenager was publicly marking his gender transition from girl to boy

This is sickening.
Correction: she was making her transition from girl to playing at being a boy.
Gender transition yes, but with only a virtual circumcision.
I don’t know about everyone else around here, but at some point, all of us are going to be confronted by someone insisting that we accept their demand to be called what they are not. I’m a lawyer and I truly dread a day when a judge will insist that I refer to a litigant or another lawyer as a she when she’s obviously a he or vice versa. I plan to refuse.
What about you?
Those days are already here. A woman was kicked out of a health club because she complained that a man was in the ladie’s room dressed as a woman. Her membership was termianted because she was ‘harassing a trans person’.
I'm going to enter the Miss American contest and I'm going to win because I'm special and I deserve it. No matter if I'm a man. If you do not make me Miss America and award it to some woman instead, I will sue you and get very rich. Celebrate my achievement as the next Miss America!
Also, build me my own special bathroom in every public space. I'm entitled, don't you know.
It’s child abuse, nothing more.
The parents should be protecting a kid from bad decisions and transient anxieties as a child.
Mostly she’s probably doing it to please a twisted set of parents who shouldn’t have children.
Celebrate mental illnesses by encouraging any sort of cr@P!
Proving once again it’s all about the need for attention.
An eighth grader is too young to know anything. Geez, boys didn’t stop having cooties until 7th grade.
If his parents had an ounce of sense, they would have taken him to see a psychologist.
No kidding, it ain’t Judaism. I gather this is not a Netanyahu voter?
There is a congregation here that has a female, lesbian Rabbi who has a child. Odd how the rule book goes out the window but they still play by certain rules (food law, etc). To me, it is no longer religion but a free for all.
When that day comes, I’m going to demand the other person accept me as a pink flamingo.
No, they don’t play by food law either. Most of them don’t even regard it as religion; to them it’s ‘cultural’.
A few years ago, daughter and I were in the Kohl’s ladies dressing room when a man came in. I kept giving him the evil eye but he didn’t leave. A normal man would have at least acted surprised at where he was and made a rapid exit. The employees never said a word. Needless to say, we left. I’ve kicked myself for not raising a stink but I didn’t want to get sued or thrown in jail so I caved.
LOL! Ya got me.
Even here on another thread we had some defending one of these perverts teaching children.
Are you sure you don’t mean “taken her to a psycholgist?”
What about you?
Never have gotten on the PC train, never will. Like you I have thought about the inevitable day that someone gets in my face and insists I mouth The Lie. salute The Lie, respect The Lie. There’s going to be trouble...and then even bigger trouble if someone decides he will resent the trouble...
I plan to dodge the question. Even if awkward, I would refer to Chastity Sun Bono not as "Chaz" or as "he" but as "Bono" or if necessary as "young Bono". I would not fight a judge drunk on power, but neither would I give in to a judge who demands that I lie.
