Charedi yeshivos and seminaries, even and especially on the beginners levels, are clearly separated by gender and subject matter. Entering a yeshiva when one is disguised as a man may be an act of false pretenses , as opposed to the subject matter of a Broadway musical. There is no doubt that the Torah and Talmud rejected Greco Roman hedonsim of all sorts as well as ascetism and celibacy and emphasized that the union of man and woman in a marriage was the means of transmitting and instilling holiness in this world
YU is facing a similar challenge and has stood firm and hopos to prevail in the Supreme Court. All Charedi yeshivos and seminaries are separated by gender and subject matter, with only men studying Gemara. If this student failed to tell the administration that he was trans, he may have entered there under false pretenses by pretending to be a male when in fact he is not .Like it or not, the Torah and the Talmud place a value on and celebrate the union of a man and woman who raise children in the values of the Torah. There is no doubt that the Rabbis of the Talmud rejected Greco Roman hedonism and ascetism and celibacy and viewed the union of man and woman in the family setting as the means of transmitting Jewish values and bringing holiness into this world.

sending warmth to Kolenski ❤️❤️ I hope he finds the right yeshiva and community that will cherish and support him as he deserves!
If Rabbi Breitowitz let him in knowing his history, it seems very unkind to kick him out after initially allowing him in.
I'm disgusted by the way some in our community have gone out of their way to make our institutions as unwelcoming as possible this Elul.
