Hello Maia, I have a very very similar personal story to you, I moved to Israel and passed as male for several years and have now desisted and identify as a butch lesbian, I'm 25. I would really love to connect personally if you're interested

Good grief. She and I as children have so much in common. I'm so grateful I am in my sixties now, because I would probably have fallen for all this if it had been around then.

This is too amazing. Her views about the left are precise. I wish my own friends could hear her account and objectivity. Very inspiring listening to how articulate she is. I hope when Hollywood calls the movie version is half as good as this.

Really brings me back to when I was a teenager and fantasised what it would be like if I could only be one of the guys religiously speaking . I would like to restack this to my subscribers on Heterodox Jewish Woman.
