Joy Ladin is the author of 11 books including her memoir, "Through the Door of Life: A Jewish Journey Between Gender". A book that moved me to tears several times and caused me to reflect deeply on how I act in the world regarding gender.
Joy always felt her body didn't match her soul and in her mid forties she transitioned from male to female identity and became the first openly transgender professor at an Orthodox Jewish Institution. In this conversation we talk about gender, identity, societal conditioning, and unconditional love.
