[Avodah] [Areivim] ISRAEL: Transgender Husband Says He's Now A Woman And Can't Give A Get

[Micha Berger via Avodah]

I recommend seeing the discussion at 
http://www.yeshiva.org.il/wiki/index.php?title=%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%99_%D7%94%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%9F

The Leiv Aryeh disagrees with the Tzitz Eliezer (and R Yosef Palaji, whom
ZE cites)

As does the Besamim Rosh, but I'm not sure I would rely on the Besmamim
Rosh. (Which claims to be a long-lost set of teshuvos by the Rosh, but
it believed by most rabbanim and the academic community to be a forgery.)

Similarly RYSE, who doesn't discuss the case of gett, but does give a pesaq
that presumes the gender does not chanafe. Etc...

It is clear that the ZE is in the minority.

Tir'u baTov!
-Micha
