My husband and I were wondering-
There are a few professional singers that started off female, and had a s-x change, and are now "hot women".
Any problem of kol isha with them? Or are they considered men halachically?

you mean, started off male....hmmmm, this is def. a weird ques., and def. one to ask a Rav. Who is an example or this? I'm sure it exists, but I have no idea of who this might pertain to...

I know theres this big israeli singer who started off a guy. I'll ask my husband for her name.
And maralyn mansin maybe? Or is that just a cross dresser?

just a weird dresser. He's married! Does he actually cross dress or does he just dress differently?

I wouldn't think it would make a difference halachikly -a male is a male. Doesn't matter how he mutilates his organs or how many hormones he's popping, he's still a guy.

amother, where did you hear that? have any sources?

As for listening to him anyway, I went to his website to see some info. and it's really disgusting. I listen to secular music but this is truly something I would watch out for. FEH!

WHat happens to these people whne they die. Kaddish will be said in whose name.

A real tradgedy of modern technology we have in some ways become like a face of a dog and insane.

Also why would you want to listen to someones music once u know their background Sad
