'I Am an Israeli Trans Woman Who Desperately Needs Palestine to be Free'

What happens when your gender theory clashes with your political theory, and both of them clash with reality

American LGBTQ website “Them” is currently leading the race for most bizarre take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The website ran an article headlined:

“Israel Makes the Hormones I Need, But I Support Palestinian Liberation”

I was immediately intrigued.

Talk about a moral dilemma.

What to do when your gender theory clashes with your political theory, and both of them clash with reality?

I promise you this was a real article. I am not making it up.

Author Ita Segev explained …

A large part of the trans community in the US is being forced to choose between our life-affirming transitions and our Palestinian siblings’ demand for freedom.

Hmmm. My gender-affirming sex change? Or Palestinian freedom?

It’s a tough choice once you decide they are inextricably linked. There is probably no greater quandary for a progressive leftist.

But it’s even more complicated, because Segev is a Jew.
