The Revealer Podcast Episode 29: Gender Diversity in Islam and Judaism
A discussion about trans and nonbinary Muslims today and the Talmud’s 8 gender categories from centuries ago
This episode explores gender diversity in present-day Islam and in Jewish history. We chat with Dr. Katrina Thompson to learn how transgender and nonbinary Muslims are transforming Islam and creating spaces specifically for trans and queer Muslims. And we chat with Dr. Max Strassfeld to learn about the eight gender categories the rabbis of the Talmud devised during the first six centuries of the common era, and what their awareness of bodily gendered diversity can tell us about transgender politics and equality today.
