i like refrain from commenting on this but its getting to a point where i see it daily so listen i cant think of a nice way to say this sorry ๐ญ but if this is you then with all love now is probably not the moment in your life to start going by a hebrew name and changing ur icon to a magen david on a pride flag and starting a blog called journeying-to-hashem. and i say this with love for you like i think people are too worried to say something in case theyre gatekeeping but the fact is this type of thing is going to seriously negatively impact any future experience you do have - or on the other equally valid hand make it very difficult for you to realise that this may not be the right step for you at this point in time.
if you genuinely feel that every rabbi you meet is "super bigoted and weird" then (without judging you bc idk you and maybe you are just surrounded by dozens of homophobic rabbis and there's nothing antisemitic at all behind this statement) it could be that... joining the community they represent is not right for you, even if only at this point in time in your current location, and your tumblr experience is giving you the warped impression that its all nonbinary people in trad-egal minyans which is not going to be the case in almost any irl community so you will feel let down by all of them which unfair to both yourself and them (i.e my first point)
#and i keep meeting like 15 year olds irl who do this um#imscared ๐ญ but like they always come twice and then disappear when they realise its not just reblogging a picture of a pomegranate#this is one of like three phenomena that are making me seriously consider leaving tumblr bc seeing it every day is like#great so im just going to get pissed off again for no reason#thats a fake url i made up so sorry if thats someones url#and not @ this specific person its just very on the nose#also just feels representative of the wider death of community thinking in the young online community lol#sometimes you have to enter into community with people whose views dont 100% line up with yours#but are like fundamentally good and kind people. and if you actually listen to them and treat them as equals you may find that not only are#they open to your point of view on some things but you might find yourself learning from them as well#crazy rite..
