The issue of transgenders is not something that I spend a lot of time worrying about, just curious how common it might be.<br /><br />What do you mean that it is "not common"? Are transgender issues less common in the Religious community - absolutely. Are these issues non-existent - absolutely not.<br /><br />What statistics or evidence to you have to back up the claim that Transgender issues are not common in the Orthodox world. Given that transgender people in the Orthodox world would keep it secret, how would, how would you even get any indication how common the issue is?Michael Sedleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684514303911193073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699890406163567974.post-52556255621208834482010-07-18T21:41:50.210+03:002010-07-18T21:41:50.210+03:00i assure you its not common.
