[quote=Anonymous]Hi. I'm the OP. I want to thank almost everyone for being civil, helpful, sometimes funny, and honest in their thoughts. I am heartened to see that we can get through 6 pages without the conversation devolving (unlike so many other threads) and I really appreciate it. It's so unlike DCUM!

I hear that there are different approaches from "I'm afraid for my safety" to "Show solidarity" to "no need to display ones identity in such a way". And then many other interesting comments as well. I'll give it some more thought. I generally used to agree with the last way of thinking, but I'm starting to think that it might be worth putting my Judaism more forward for more people to see, something I never thought I would say. I do actually have a mezuzah on my door, so I don't feel threatened at home. Walking around is a little bit different.

And lastly to the poster who assumed that I should be more Jewish rather than performative, there are so many assumptions in your simple post, but I will just say that I was raised orthodox and am currently more conservative but am quite "practicing" enough for me and not worried about my performance levels in any area of my life. I have always lived my values and don't much succumb to wanting to perform for anyone. Oh well.

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the conversation. [/quote]
