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
