Transkeit is in paperback!!!

As I shared last year, I am one of the people who participated in an amazing conference serving trans Jews and whose presentation became a chapter in the book, Liberating Gender for Jews and Allies: The Wisdom of Transkeit.

For awhile, the book was only offered in hard copy from the publisher and as such, was quite pricy to purchase. We recently received the news that the book is now offered in paperback from the publisher and we can share the discount code with any who are interested.

We also have options for reviewers, those who want to (honestly) review the book in exchange for a copy. We’d love for you to read what we have to say and get the word out about how to celebrate and support and best work with trans Jews.

My chapter is on effective and supportive psychotherapy with trans Jews. I loved participating in the research for this chapter, stemming from my Clinical Psychology doctoral Clinical Research Project (CRP; some might call the project a dissertation although it was officially known as a CRP at my school). I’m so proud to share the pages with esteemed Rabbis, allies, trans people including intersex folks, performers, community rights activists, and a host of others who give their hearts and teachings to inform their exquisite chapters.

Words: The Paperback is Out! Yes!! Read Dr. Weissman’s chapter in Liberating Gender for Jews and Allies: The Wisdom of Transkeit and then a QR code directing people to the publisher’s web address, https://www.cambridgescholars.com/product/978-1-5275-1070-8/ to buy the book and information about the reduced fee with code: Author40. Waves’ Logo over Philly Pride flag is in the bottom left corner.


While it’s not yet on Amazon, we’ve heard that it is heading there. Eeeek! I would love this book to be at local bookstores. I want to support local shops and as a fan of bookstore browsing, would love to stumble across our book. If there is a bookstore that you know of that you think would like to have some copies, please let me know and I’ll send the word along to our esteemed editors.

Thank you for your support. Here’s the link to buy our book and learn more about trans Jews!
