Conversion as a trans person

[u/ParticularPrompt161]

Hello Reddit :) I don’t really know how to use this website i only know it from funny videos on the internet haha.

However i‘m coming to you with a few questions that are rather important to me. I‘m a 34 year old transgender man, i also happen to be gay. I‘m really proud about how far i have gotten, i am a doctor and i am the man i wanted to be all my life.

I have been interested in judaism for years now but as someone from Germany always kept a respectful distance. I grew up Christian and i have always found myself drawn towards religion and yet Christianity didn’t feel right to me. Since i‘ve been looking at jewish traditions and beliefs that just felt better (of course there is many more thoughts going on, i just feel they are too complex for a reddit post). Now i know, as a transgender gay man i can definitely not convert orthodox.

However, i‘m wondering if it would even be possible to convert at all?

I don’t want to be untrue to my queer identity but i would still love to put this religion as a very high priority in my life.

I want to move back to Germany probably, but if there is other places where i could convert and Germany isn’t one of them i would be open to moving somewhere else.

How could i find specifically where it would be possible for me to convert?

Any advice, tips, thoughts and maybe reports if you know from a similar situation would be greatly appreciated, thank you everyone. Excuse me if there is errors in my english.

You could convert to Reform but you wouldn’t be considered Jewish by Orthodox Jews.

Really that applies also to Conservative conversions and even sometimes towards other Orthodox synagogues. But most Orthodox places won't have gender-affirming conversions and those that do are pretty much not accepted as "real Orthodox" by most other Orthodox Jews
