Transgender people in the Netherlands have been waiting for years for a law that does not hold terms to change ones gender. This lawproposal was promised to be processed halfway this year.

Ladin, who is not strictly observant but nevertheless remains strongly rooted to Jewish tradition, could have taken the easy way out: She could have walked away from Judaism. Instead, she argues with God. We get to listen in on her side of the conversation. Read more:
