My 14 year old has Sunday School once a week (guess what day), from 6 to 8 pm. The class is broken into three parts: a core subject (this semester, it's comparative religions), a pizza break, and an elective (this semester, he's taking "diversity"). The instructor sent an e-mail describing the final session topic in one line:
Trans 101.
Interesting. I thought, I may want to drop him a note asking for details. I guess other parents did because I received a follow-up e-mail:
Subject: Trans 101 explanation
Hi All,
I hope this e-mail finds you well. Next week's topic will be on Transgender topics and Judaism.
The topics of the presentation will be:
- The Gingerbread person diagram discussing gender identity, gender expression, biological sex, and sexual orientation
- The Trans umbrella
- Terminology
- Gender pronouns
- Video clips of the Schmekels and Joy Ladin (Transgender Jews)
- Transgender policies and programs in the Jewish faith
- Transgender etiquette
- Transgender Jews
- Transgender Rabbis
- Resources
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this presentation.
Well, yeah. I have a question. I wrote "Can I sit in on the class?"
I'm waiting for an answer.
