Cocoon Pride Flag

Cocooning (silk, transgender slang): someone who is still in the process of “transitioning”; protectively casing/covering/wrapping yourself in the closet/closeted.

Useful for classical binary trans individuals who want a “binary” gender transcendence, or trans folx who just want being perceived as the gender they are (aka “passing”). It’s called casulo in Neo-Latin. 

This doesn’t give you a free pass to act like ‘oh just say a regular/normal trans” or “HsT(s)”. It’s very similar to “pre-op” and “pré-th” (additionally pre- everything), but less problematic I guess?

I may not be the coiner of this slang, but it’s been widely used without mentioning the right definition, acting like classical/typical trans(itioned) folks are butterflies, in a figurative scene. - AP

GLS: gays, lésbicas ou simpatizantes (freely translated as gay men, lesbians or supporters (or sympathizers)). Using rainbow colors deviding space with lesbian flag’s three colors and other three colors from two ally flags.

History: similar to queer movement and gay & lesbian alliances, this terminology brought up in the 1980s and 1990s in Brazil, the initials were used more for commercial purposes such as in nightclubs, an outdated acronym for LGBT+. See these some sources (all in Portuguese).

This wasn’t used as exclusioniosts and exclusionaries want nowadays, this historically included drag queens, asexuals, trans women, travestis and bisexuals, but implicitly. Straights were always welcomed, specially outsiders, women and drags in general.

Hi I was just wondering how LGBT people are perceived in the Jewish religion? Judaism is the closest religion I feel close to but I was wondering if it’s believed I’m sinning by being myself

Hi there,

This answer can be found in my FAQ section along with many other answers and questions that might be burning in your noggins!

Have a great day,

Are LGBTQA+ folks welcome in Progressive Jewish communities?

Absolutely. As Progressive Jews, we believe that because every human being was created  (Betzelem Elohim - in the Image of God) בצלם אלהים (Gn. 1:27), we must treat everyone with the same respect and compassion that we give to God.  We recognize the wisdom that scientists and researchers of gender and sexuality have given us in order to enhance our society and thus understand that an individual’s sexuality, romantic identity, gender, and gender expression are individual, given by God, and are intrinsic parts of the human experience.  Progressive Jews do indeed believe that LGBTQA+ folks are “born this way.”  

In most major movements, LGBTQA+ families are welcomed into the Jewish community with open arms, same sex/gender couples are married, and rabbis and cantors of all genders and sexualities/romantic identities are ordained.

Although Israel has a long way to go in the name of equality (namely in adoption and marriage rights), she is one of the greatest places on earth for LGBTQA+ folks.  Beyond holding yearly Miss Trans Israel, and Tel Aviv Pride, legislation often favors the LGBTQA+ community.  

In more traditional communities, sexuality and gender identity are charged topics due to two lines in the Torah.  If you are interested in learning about my own personal interpretation of the texts, feel free to check THIS out.
