Dear trans people who found out today about Judaism’s positing of eight genders,
If you think Judaism sounds like a thing that might work for you, that’s cool, you are welcome to inquire, but Jews have a VERY DIFFERENT perspective on applicants than Christianity. If you want to become Jewish, this isn’t just joining a congregation, or changing your religion, conversion involves being brought into a semi-closed ethnoreligious community, and we don’t actively seek out new members. We used to. It didn’t end well for us. We’re not over it.

@lura_groen @Jurgan15 @Pr_JT_Sipf DM sent. Knurd is a literary concept proposed by Terry Pratchett as the opposite of drunk. It is an state of altered consciousness which is not sobriety. If drunk is 10 and sober is 0, Knurd is -10. @lura_groen @Jurgan15 @Pr_JT_Sipf It is a state that some people attempt to reach by drinking extremely strong coffee, and some people go through life in a constant state of it where they are at -2 as a norm, and they don’t relate to people easily as a result.
