Trans Talmud: Androgynes and Eunuchs in Rabbinic Literature by Max K. Strassfeld Yiddish Learning The firsthand records we haveTrans Talmud places eunuchs and androgynes at the center of rabbinic literature and asks what we can learn from them about Judaism and the project of transgender history. Rather than treating these figures as anomalies to be justified or explained away, Max K. Strassfeld argues that they profoundly shaped ideas about law, as the rabbis constructed intricate taxonomies of gender across dozens of texts to understand an array of cultural tensions.
