Oh! I should totally have been clearer, by the way, that I spell it with a small J for myself but I certainly don't lowercase other Jewish people. My small J is down to a distinction between Jewishness and Judaism, if you see what I mean; my father was bar mitzvah but my mother was raised Methodist, and I grew up Unitarian, so I have all the heritage and none (or very little) of the religion. Like: enough that every single person who has ever reminded me that I'm "not really Jewish" because matrilineal etc. has annoyed me, but not enough to take any formal actions about it. (Or, as I once said to a rabbi friend, it would probably be relatively easy for me to convert—except that I don't think I should have to.)
