[Avodah] Transgendering and Halachah

[menucha]

I can not remain silent seeing such a thing written about the Tzitz 
Eliezer.  We can not be casual about saying about gedolim that they were 
paskening based on medical and psychological misinformation, especially 
when we are talking about gedolim of our time.  The Tzitz Eliezer has 
another teshuva in this area written about 30 years later than the one 
cited by R' Micha Berger (22,2 written to Rav Mordechai Eliyahu zt"l in 
5757 and he does not seem to change his stance.
BTW, there is a comprehensive book on this topic- Dor Hapuchot- with 
hascamot by ROY , Rav ZN Goldberg, Rav Shlomo Amar and others.
