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.

nsfwIt unironically does make me kinda sad to think that the cishet mind's entire concept of sex is "stick thing in thing, saw in n out for a bit". Like, there's nothing wrong with insertive sex obviously but there can be so, so much more to it than that, and opening my mind up to all of the other goofy possibilities is one of those things that took it from being miserable to actually kinda fun for me. Sometimes you see a cishet person talkin bout something sexual and just... man, they're missing out y'know...

What a fucking affirming weekend I just had. Like holy shit. This con was something I really needed on a personal level.

First off, my β€œcoworkers” were awesome people and seriously made my time at the con so much better than I anticipated. I have so many more friends and a group of people I can trust now in this area. I am now going to staff this con every year whether I like it or not. And I really want to. I actually enjoyed staffing this con over attending most other cons.

Second off, it was the first con I’ve attended since my egg cracked at Anthrocon 2022. Also celebrated my transversary yesterday at the con. Two years!!!!! Anyways, I finally can say that the HRT is really doing a good job on me. Which is crazy cause I didn’t expect so much starting at 33. But I got hit on by so many fucking people this weekend. So many trans girls and so many men. It’s funny cause the girls were actually good at flirting and all the guys were like, β€œHey, what’s up? Just relaxing here.” instead of like, talking to me instead of at me.

But regardless, all of the flirting (and direct comments from a lot of strangers), made me realize that I actually look really good. I have a feminine figure. A feminine face. A feminine voice. I have great tits (way too many people hugged me way too tight >w> and I know one did it to see if my boobs were β€œreal”). Like holy shit I’m actually attractive and desirable for the first time in my life! At 35! I missed out on all of this for all these years! But I’m here and I’m loving every second of my new life and holy gods is it amazing. I’m so fucking happy right now.

I just now need to temper my ability to get insanely flustered when someone starts telling me I’m hot or look good or equivalent. So I can actually ask for discord or telegram or phone number.

Gods. Easily one of the best weekends of my life. Oh also I’m very loud and obnoxious in public as my true self and I regret none of it. I’m shocked I didn’t get thrown out of several places I ended up.

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

A few months ago I was unsure about my boobs but now I know that I want them gone. Because of terrible laws in my country it will probably take at least a year before it’s possible but that’s okay, I think I can wait and at least I won’t have to pay for it biggus-piggus

Got some real thigh highs. Not like the kind that stop right up to your knee, but the ones that go all the way, also they're sripey because of course they are <3.

They should make a law that all socks need to be long enough to reach your butt.

Looking down and seeing my legs covered in baby-blue/white stripes this morning was such a hit of euphoria I ended up holding my legs and giggling on my bed like a weirdo. I can't believe how strong of a drug that shit is.

I am feeling very euphroic, and VERY trans this morning :)

thinking about link rot and how much material that's not even that old is no longer accessable on the internet at all. then further, how much shit people host on fucking discord these days. wanna download this mod? join our discord! forum for a community? it's now a discord! fan game? yeah the download is hosteed on.... our FUCKING DISCORD.

I don't want to join your discord! and ALL of that history and community is gone when one day, in 5, 10, maybe even 20 yars, but eventually, discord will shut down; and more than likely, they'll lose or delete your data long before that point. myspace losing a fuck load of data back in the day is the single largest loss of independent music short of cultural collapses like the late bronze age

So, the dust has finally settled for me, and balance has returned to my life. My gender identity is no longer the focus of all my energy and conscious thought, as it was for months.

This is good for me because I'm focused on other fulfilling aspects of my life. Hyper focusing on gender was really toxic for me because there was really nothing I could DO to make transition happen any faster. So (like many people here), I'd just be in my head all day thinking "I wanna be x so bad. Am I really x? I wanna be x so bad. but actually I'm y. But I wanna be x so bad." This kind of forced me to focus on my body and never be happy whatever I did with it.

Now that I'm chill, I see that gender identity was never really important to me. I don't get hung up on things like pronouns either. To me, my gender expression is important. How I present myself is more important than what I am on the inside because "what I am" is kind of an abstract concept that isn't helpful for my life.

It's kind of give and take. I've broken the dysphoria cycle, but also there's less excitement because I dropped this idea that I would be completely changing myself. So now, presenting femme is still great, but when I look in the mirror, I don't say "wow, this is who I really am!". It's more like, "I really like this, but damn it was a lot of work!" So, since presenting femme isn't, like, critical to my sense of self, I end up doing it a lot less. So that kind of sucks. Once my facial hair is gone, that will lift a large barrier of entry to presenting femme, tho, so I hope I do it more often.

Anyway, folks, I'm thriving now cat-vibing I hope I can carve out more time to express my gender going forward. I know it's good for me.
