The photo is a 1974 photo of Leslie Feinberg, from the FBI file on hir. I've written a piece on my interpretation of Transgender Warriors and Trans Liberation, but I don't think it's quite polished enough, so I'll post it later. Instead, I'll go over hir FBI file: https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/dc-metro/rg-065/6282555/Batch0010/6282555_100-HQ-480756.PDF.

The FBI thought Feinberg could be violating the Communist Control Act, advocating the overthrow of the government, and engaging in rebellion. Needless to say, a hero to all of us. Feinberg was a member of the Workers World Party (the party still exists, but more notably PSL split from it), which apparently wasn't openly advocating for the overthrow of the U.S, they just think it's inevitable.

My favorite line? "captioned subject is believed to be a white female, who became male through some kind of sex change operation, and is possibly homosexual". Some interesting language choice, and it's an interesting snapshot into the evolution of Leslie's identity.

The FBI found Leslie's place of birth and birthdate from public school records. It's a bit of an interesting look into all of the many places the FBI can get their information, along with how information like that was so much more patchwork before the digital age.

"Interview of subject is not being recommended because of the questionable nature of his sexuality". Hmm, interesting.

It's interesting how their investigation spanned multiple cities, from Kansas City to NYC to Bufffalo to Boston. It probably involved quite a few officers, though I'm sure it wasn't the main focus for all of them.

There's some interesting mention about changes in Leslie's gender identity. Born a girl, for a time wearing a beard and mustache, then going back to "she". I'm sure we all know, Feinberg's gender didn't stop evolving there.

"Subject reportedly contributes all extra money to WWP", Leslie definitely was dedicated to the cause. Leslie doesn't attend NYC WWP meetings, but the FBI doesn't mention why.

The FBI isn't immune to typoes, Leslie did some "criminal terspass" that garnered some attention.They wasted some time checking if Leslie was in Boston, but verified where Leslie in NYC lived by pretending to be a part of the Voter Registration Commission.

There's a whole 43 pages of documents, all just from 1974-75. There's plenty of interesting tidbits in there, so maybe check it out.

Im gonna try and go to get my levels taken and maybe get a perscription tomorrow. Ive been doing DIY for almost 2 years, never had my bloods done, only been on E monotherapy. Chat, im scared.

The challenging/anxiety inducing aspects of this are many. In no particular order:

  • i have to go outside and interact with people
  • i have to go downtown, and even worse, park downtown
  • this place doesnt do appointments at first so i just have to go walk in and ask for what i want
  • im afraid the doctor will say i have completely fucked myself wrt breast growth
  • im afraid the doctor will say i have ruined my health in some other way, possibly irreversibly
  • what if i get there and they cant see me for whatever reason
  • what if i break down during all of this (very real possibility)
  • how will I pay for it? I have no health insurance, and i think they do sliding scale, but im freaked out about this one in particular


Theres probably more to be freaked about, thats just off the top of my head. One of my friends might take me, but i just feel akward and weird. I know i cant take care of myself and need help to do basic stuff like this, but i dont like admitting it and having someone with me will probably be more anxiety inducing than otherwise. The cortisol is running high these days madeline-sadeline

My biggest hurdle was paying for parking, but i fixed that one (i downloaded the parking app (it only took me 6 weeks aubrey-rage-cry)). And now im faced with all the other anxiety inducing stuff. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh incoherent babbling screaming powercry-2

Wow, what if a really cool trans person told me what outfit to wear?

What if it was actually just the outfit I wanted to wear anyway, but it feels better because a cool trans person told me to wear it?

after experimenting with some light cross-dressing I can confirm I am cis, but I do like being cute & occasionally having femme elements to my outfit. I like being feminized for my partner as a sex thing, but I still don't think it's a gender thing.

edit: apologies if this doesn't belong here.

Does anyone here want to share their experience with getting a gender incongruence diagnosis? I just learned a bit about the process in my country and apparently it can include talk from your practitioner with a friend/family member?? That seems so weird to me because why would anyone else know more about my own gender than me? capybara-theorist

Also it can take up to like 6 months of weekly appointments to get a diagnosis which is wild! cat-confused

‘Luckily’ I already have a year of waiting time behind me for some other thing which could be transferred to the gender section of the same clinic so at least I should be able to start the process of getting a diagnosis soon. Now knowing about the intense process that is getting a diagnosis I understand why there’s such a shortage of trans care practitioners… thurston kitty-birthday-sad

Why is it that I put so much work into a post and when I'm finally done I have doubts and suddenly don't want to share it? Too rambling, too personal, too unflattering, I dunno. I feel like I shouldn't be feeling a fear response to something I specifically wanted to share when it comes time to share. Maybe I'm just afraid of rejection?

Is it wrong to unmatch someone on a dating app purely based on emoji use? Especially this one 🥰 ruins the vibe for me in a first message. It just makes me assume that they’re going to lovebomb me and I can’t deal with that. I’m not aromatic but I’m also not super affective nor do I like receiving too much affection so am I right in thinking that we’re just not going to be a good match based on 1 emoji?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

sometimes things just feel off and that's okay to unmatch
