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.

i hate that even if you get a good deal on the tickets, as soon as there's more than one person travelling trains become more expensive than just driving

i mean if you get a bad deal on the tickets driving is easily cheaper

Do blue curtains symbolize 9/11 or being trans?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Being trans is the (american) 9/11 of the cis world, so both i guess vivian-shrug

thinking about puberty (not sad though)You know, I wonder how cis people actually process puberty.

I feel like I remember most adults/teens telling me it's rough/hard, but like, idk. I imagine they're more or less happy with the result. Obviously I can't compare it to my second puberty that much but like, I'm stoked to get my woman body. I know they don't have gender dysphoria/euphoria the same way trans people do but like, its got to be a little exciting to get your adult body that matches what you want. The only thing I can think is just like, being a kid in general is hard sometimes? Other kids can be mean?

spoiler talking about my own puberty, voice dysphoria (not sad about it rn) I don't think my first was as traumatizing, at the time, as a lot of other trans people's. I do remember hating my voice changing, and that hatred has carried through to present day. Now I have an answer for why, but a cis person wouldn't experience that. And even though I'm trans, and had some envy at the time, I think first puberty was more or less fine for me at the time? Maybe I've blocked out feelings but I think I was very blob-no-thoughts at that age, everything was more or less fine. My issues with puberty have come on much more recently, and I'm guessing cis people don't experience that either. :::

The conclusion here is I don't understand the cis, and who better to ask about cis issues then a bunch of trans people.

I wish I could turn yearning on and off manually.It can be really nice! But it gets old sometimes ig. Like, my dearest heart, i understand, you wish for a sylphish being to love and be loved by; to be soft as a zephyr with; who can in an instant throw you down and bind you in its vortex. I understand, i really do, but would you please SHUT THE FUCK UP SOMETIMES!?

Not to toot my own horn but...

I finished my coding project I was working on and it fucking rocks lets-fucking-go It ended up being way fewer lines than I thought it would be (like 250, and a bunch of those are docstrings), and it provides some cool functionality augmenting the existing object system. Unfortunately this part of the object system is underspecified, so Im depending on community standards instead of language specification standards, but the behavior of everything is agreed upon enough that everything should be ok niko-happy

I know this system isnt terribly relevant to most problems, but for where it is relevant it makes everything easier to do, and if just one person puts it to some kind of use ill be ecstatic lea-manic

Idk ig Im just happy and feel good about myself, which isnt often the case \(^Β·^)/

Ugh I don't trust my therapist, keeps giving generic advice rather than more situational, she claimed the flimsy underfunded local rural job office had a career counselor, no it didn't, and they basically told me 'lol gtfo, too old', then on one of her visits she mistook me for another client which is the big reason I really don't trust her. At least she isn't frothing at the mouth openly transphobic like my PT was, that's how low the bar is. I feel like I'm really wasting time seeing her, better off with that llm chatbot Dr. Beagle its so bad out here. Then she's like 'oh there's this place that offers gsrm friendly therapists, no for not for medicaid/care nor uninsured. I hate being so rural, but when you're so poor, the allure of the city having all these potential jobs or places to meet people is illusionary since everything is a long drive or busride. When you look for help and there isn't any, yep life101.

There are some virtual jobs I have in mind, like medical scribe, but I know they're super ageist and lookist, so I probably won't make beyond the first round of interviews. I also need to give a full 2weeks out on my shitty retail job before I pick something else up, since I can't afford to burn any bridges out here and its one of the very few places that hires open/non passing gsrm individuals.

For some small good news I think my infection is getting better, caught a thrush deal from going wipe it clean 2024 on my bacteria, but hopefully that will go away soon.

It's so frustrating, BMI under 16 but refuse to get above 18, EDs are such a tough nut to crack.

My friend who transitioned around the same time as me complained about gaining 20 lbs. She probably had 10 of em each on her new tits lmao

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

β€˜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
