A Sunday school teacher who I know, who is trans, has just brought up a concern about the cross-dressing costumes of Purim. She is very averse to the concept, and it makes her upset to see people making it out to be a great joke.
The book that drew her concern was "Purim Play" by Roni Schotter. Should books like this (and I can recall one or two others with similar themes or mentions) be quietly removed from circulation as has been done with books with racial or ethnic stereotypes?
