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.

AT LAST MY NEVADA RE-READ POST

This was intended to be a simple post about my re-read of Orange Book. Since I knew I was going to be talking about the book right after, I was taking notes while I was reading. By the end, I had nearly 10 pages of notes and quotes. Clearly my brain wanted to get some stuff out and I decided to let her cook. And wow did she run with it, writing a whole thing that clocks in at over 4000 words of psuedo-psycho-babble and navel-gazing. And there’s a part of me that feels like I didn’t even say everything I wanted to say while also acknowledging I’ve already said way too much.

On the plus side, it's a megapost for the megathread.

I hope everything makes sense and this flows okay. I wrote this in bits over the course of multiple days (like 9 or so?) and what I was trying to say evolved as the days passed and my mood shifted sooooo if it comes off disjointed that’s probably why. I tried to go back and edit it a little but to be honest? My brain wouldn't let me do much else until it is done and now that it is I’m tired of looking at it and want to do anything else.

All 3 parts are below in the sub-comments.

CW for all parts: Nevada spoilers, transphobia and dysphoria, mentions of sex

Shaved and feel much better for doing it! I need to get better about self care.

transphobia/dated at least, bad medical systemTherapist keeps saying things like "well I'm proud of you man" and like stfu, you know I'm trans, you know I'm dysphoric, you know I hate feeling like a guy so please stop saying that. I actually need to figure out how to tell him to stop. I think his views might be dated? Like he'll say "they're a she, who was a he?" like wtf is so hard for you to understand. Idk pisses me off but overall I'm doing good today :kirby-spin:

I just cant catch a break (cw death)
spoiler cw cancer Cancer sucks. My immediate familial relation redacted has cancer. They caught it early, so they have good chances apparently. 80% chance to live five years. Theyre in their early sixties, and really healthy. The cancer type they have has a high recurrence rate. I just want to scream but no sounds come out. Theyre doing everything they can, the surgeries, the diets. Chemo+radiation will probably come soon-ish if their surgeries dont go absolutely perfect. I just dont even know how to get my feelings out. I dont have a named feeling, just a lot of feeling. And emptyness. Wouldnt be me if i didnt have that emptyness.

Im trying to be there for other immediate familial relation (who is closer to immediate familial relation than i), but its just hard. I just feel so helpless.

As always thanks for listening and sorry for gloomposting all the time.

Edit: anyone got recommendations for some feel good slop to turn my brain off to? Ive worked through all the childrens shows already, but things like owl house, avatar, steven universe, etc. are right up my alley. Tysm <3 :::

okay possibly bad fashion take incoming:

I truly do not understand cishet fashion. I will see people praise an outfit and go puzzled that's just a t-shirt and blue jeans...

and this is not to say that I think my style is some sort of one-of-a-kind, trends-are-passing-style-is-forever kind of thing. I personally love a lot of trends. sign me up for that cheap underbust corset belt thing, i think it's not even trendy at this point and i still want one. but just. I tried to watch a fashion video and every outfit in it was so boring to me and then I scrolled down to the comments and saw everyone loving it... I just don't get it. that being said i am very happy for them that they enjoy it.

I want a gun, when I get a gun I'll shoot two things:

  1. Linux or my graphics card. I can't tell which one it is that keeps crashing, but it keeps happening.
  2. The gender metronome. I'll force it as far left as it can go then shoot it to stop it from ever going right again.
