Within Judaism, there are many shades of LGBT acceptance and rejection.

Rabbi Denise Eger, the rabbi of the West Hollywood Reform synagogue Congregation Kol Ami, is one of the first openly gay or lesbian rabbis. She was ordained in 1986, then came out in 1989; the following year, Reform Judaism began ordaining openly gay and lesbian rabbis.

Eger says that Judaism has evolved on the issue of LGBT inclusion, particularly with the Reform movement's long record of support for LGBT rights.

No one should have to go through that every year. If a student has transitioned, and have gone through legal channels of name change and social security number, the best thing to do is go to their counselor and get their records changed to the new name and gender. Once that is done, there won't be any uncomfortable questions or having to explain yourself year be year.
