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.

Curly hair gang here again, FUCK YOU FIGHT ME peppino-angry

I informed someone here disgost about my curly bangs problem, i.e. that all of my designated bangs-hair just curls up into two or three giant ringlets that hang out on my forehead. Very troublesome, not exactly doing what bangs should do.

She said it was cute, chat! peppino-why

And so I continue to be bereft of good strats for bangs with curly hair. On hot days, even a straightening iron will only keep them floofed for like an hour. This sucks... madeline-bruh

bitching and whiningWow there's literally nothing for my hair.

One day after a shower, hit hair with a couple dollops of pure jojoba oil, comb it, fluffed out mess. Spritz it with a bunch of water, still a fluffed out mess just wet. The result; I would basically need to wash my hair with combing and jojoba shampoo/conditioner every single morning for it to actually look good and curly. Also it will not stop being frizzy for anything.

I just give up, I guess I'm gonna leave my hair untouched for a few days after every shower so I can enjoy actual curls instead of this weird disaster of lowgrade waves. Whatever.

TL;DR if you comb it dry the curls disappear, get obliterated. Guess I am only combing in the shower now?

My friends with curly hair don’t comb daily because of that, but I guess with long hair it can be difficult to keep it nice without combing

Okay that makes sense, but yeah if I don't comb every day it becomes tangletown...
