Haaretz

We're also aware of what's happening today at liberal seminaries -- one of the stories in Lilith's section on "Navigating Sexuality Today" is by a transgender rabbi, Elliot Kukla. We asked him for blessings that a transgender person might say during these heavy moments of gender transition. He responded with blessings that he wrote for a friend who wanted to mark each time that he took testosterone. That's so intimate -- it makes the issue so real; it dares us not to have compassion.
