- Title
Trans Talmud: Androgynes and Eunuchs in Rabbinic Literature by Max K. Strassfeld (review).
- Authors
Rosenblum, Jordan D.
- Abstract
This chapter is a good example of where Strassfeld takes texts often studied and offers insights that will benefit both scholars of rabbinic literature and modern trans, intersex, and disability studies. On numerous occasions, Strassfeld "embrace[s] a "bad" or literal reading strategy" (165; also see e.g. 188) in order to trans a rabbinic text (more on the term "trans" below). Strassfeld draws on theories and methods from both trans and intersex history, as well as disability studies, in order to (re-)read rabbinic texts, and vice-versa.
