Blessed are you Father, who has not made me a woman. Kalonymus ben Kalonymus.

Kalonymus ben Kalonymus was a 13th century rabbi and philosopher. This is an extract from his writing in Even Bohan. I am far from being a scholar of this writing, but I found it quite fascinating. I also note that just as today, transgender people sometimes end up reinforcing misogynistic stereotypes. That said, the sentiment comes across the centuries loud and clear.
