On December 8th, I had the privilege of participating in the post-film discussion of Mom, I Didn't Kill Your Daughter at the 19th Annual Washington Jewish Film Festival in DC. The film and panel discussion were organized by the DC Jewish Community Center's Kurlander Program for Gay & Lesbian Outreach and Engagement (GLOE).
About 100 people braved the chilly evening to watch the DC premiere of this Israeli trans documentary. I was joined on the panel by local politico and national gender rights advocate Dr. Dana Byer and Rhodes Perry, field and policy manager at PFLAG National, to answer audience questions about trans issues and Judaism. Although to be fair, Dana had to field all of the questions on Judaism since she's spent years at Yeshiva and Rhodes and I are "Gentiles." Thanks, Dana.
