#it just feels costumey to me but i am 100% willing to admit that as a personal problem rather than anything else it may be a nonissue

All very true and thanks for saying! I know when I was still in my conversion process I was almost *too* conscious of being 'allowed' to participate in certain things and it actually got in the way of being part of a community for a long time. which is why im trying to work out if its just leftover sensitivity and im projecting, or if it is actually something that needs (gently and respectfully!!) addressing
i dont want to come across as though im passing judgement on 'How jewish someone is allowed to be', and made my original post too quickly in a moment of venting so it definitely comes across that way. my dilemma is moreso about if i should approach and try and correct some of the misinfo he's posting publicly, since he presents himself as a jewish educator but a lot of the content is wildly oversimplified or just sort of wrong.
You're totally right in that I don't really know his journey or relationship to Judaism, and if I approach him at all it'll be from a friendly place!
trying to figure out if there is a tactful way of approaching a convert in my local queer scene and telling them to please talk to a rabbi before they start doing stuff
#i suppose what im worried about IS that itll come across as that kind of judgement#this did make me take a step back from my own feelings tho so thank you!#he just posts a lot of 'as a jew we believe x' on a public platform#and a lot of his marketing as an artist is based on being jewish and idk if youre going to make a profit i just feel like id be more honest#like doing a drag contest dressed as teyve throwing around a tallit on the floor#but then again !! that might be just me being uncomfortable bc my level of observance is different who knows#it just feels costumey to me but i am 100% willing to admit that as a personal problem rather than anything else it may be a nonissue#but yeah thank u for replying !! realising that this is more a 'im terrified of confrontation but want to try and correct misinfo' problem#and not a 'i need to Help because I Know More' issue#conclusion: i can just log off the internet and live my life and be there if he needs/wants#(im giving him an aleph bet workbook i dont need as a 'hey you can connect if you want' kinda gesture to start with)
