Men are not inherently Evil

Everyone has the capacity for evil

Transgender Men are men

Transgender Women are women

Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)

Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement

Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators

Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"

ברוך אתה האשם שגרם לי להשתתף בבריאה

Through centuries of hardship, displacement, and challenge, Jewish women have carried the flame of hope and strength, dancing not only with our bodies but also with our spirits. We are adorned in tradition and rich with history, carrying the unbreakable joy that has sustained our people through it all.

Despite everything, from exile to persecution to the daily trials of life, we find reasons to celebrate. Because joy is a form of resistance. There is power within each of us to to embrace both our past and our future with grace and hope.

May we all be inspired to find light even in the darkest times, and to celebrate the boundless, beautiful spirit that is Jewish joy. 🩵
