The depths in which Stone Butch Blues has resonated with me is so difficult to capture. 

Reading about trans person with a complicated relationship with said gender, which first and foremost happens so rarely that I wept when I read the first few pages of Stone Butch Blues, means so much to me. Ze really serves as representation for me as a gender queer person that I really haven’t seen anywhere else. And not only did hir book revolve around a character like this, but ze lived that experience and fought for hir’s demographic to be represented in the LGBT community, which is a debt I know I can never repay.

I personally can’t speak for the Jewish LGBT sect of the community, but this prominent person was also Jewish, a demographic that is so severely underrepresented. And yet, here is one of the most important people in queer history, and I unapologetically stand by that, is Jewish and is so rarely talked about. I don’t doubt that there are people in our community who are so happy to see someone like them that defined this community in such a major way.

But also, Leslie Feinberg also wrote and lived the experience of being in this grey area of gender and continued to live hir truth as a lesbian, which so many people fight against now and so many other people feel as though they aren’t allowed to do, myself included. But there is no way that TERFs and gatekeepers can take our spot from the lesbian/sapphic table; Leslie made space for us so long ago, and it’s not going anywhere.

I love history and I so often ground myself in knowing the history of my people, meaning the people who made it possible for me to be here. And I consider Leslie Feinberg one of my people who paved the way for me and people like me.

Long story long, read Stone Butch Blues, know your queer history, stop gatekeeping our community, be a gay communist, and punch Nazis.

📝 by @jase_falk: Leslie Feinberg was a transgender author and activist who’s writing was influential in bringing awareness to how transgender people have always existed throughout history and how trans liberation is tied up with anti-colonial, anti-racist work as well as with working class struggles. Feinberg used ze/hir pronouns, although ze felt that pronouns were often context based for hir and has identified as both a butch lesbian and as a trans man throughout hir life. Feinberg often pointed to the ways in which the English language has a limited vocabulary expressing the experiences of gender non-conforming individuals. Feinberg is probably best known for hir novel Stone Butch Blues which won the Lambda Literary Award in 1994. Stone Butch Blues in many ways parallel’s Feinberg’s own life as a trans working class Jewish person, but Feinberg has said the novel is not autobiographical. Feinberg had a very broad definition of transgender that included all those who “cross the cultural boundaries of gender” (transgender warriors). Feinberg made connections between trans history and labour history to show how social and economic forces have resulted in many people choosing to transgress gender boundaries in order to find work, thereby exposing how the naturalization of the gender binary is tied to our capitalist economic systems and this is only one way that society has historically been organized and that other possibilities and that a better world is possible. #transhistory #lgbtq #lgbt #gendernonconforming #nonbinary #genderdluid #lgbthistory #history #lesliefeinberg #author https://www.instagram.com/p/BojQ1WOFgA6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g95gj3cv13eb

I finally read Stone Butch Blues and I keep thinking about it. What an amazing work. I was brought to tears repeatedly from Feinberg’s vivid depictions of joy and loneliness and camaraderie and fear. I’m so glad zie left the mark on this world that zie did and left such a powerful and accessible legacy.

Leslie Feinberg (September 1, 1949 – November 15, 2014) was an American butch lesbian, transgender activist, communist, and author. Feinberg authored Stone Butch Blues in 1993. Her writing, notably Stone Butch Blues and her pioneering non-fiction book, 1996's Transgender Warriors, laid the groundwork for much of the terminology and awareness around gender studies and was instrumental in bringing these issues to a more mainstream audience. Feinberg described herself as "an anti-racist white, working-class, secular Jewish, transgender, lesbian, female, revolutionary communist." Feinberg's spouse, Minnie Bruce Pratt, is a professor at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York. Feinberg and Pratt married in New York and Massachusetts in 2011. In the mid and late 1990s they attended Camp Trans together. Feinberg died on November 15, 2014, of complications due to tick-borne infections, including chronic Lyme disease, which she suffered from since the 1970s. Feinberg's last words were reported to be, "Hasten the revolution! Remember me as a revolutionary communist." -Wikipedia (artwork by @elijah.haswell) #PeopleOfPride #LeslieFeinberg #octoberislgbthistorymonth #lgbthistorymonth #historymonth #EliHaswell #loveislove #lgbt #lgbtq #rainbow #gay #lesbian #transgender #bisexual #pansexual #asexual #genderqueer #male #female  #love #acceptance #diversity #lovewhoyouwant #youareamazing #youarebeautiful #hernandopride #hernandoflorida https://www.instagram.com/p/B3660ucha3-/?igshid=jl4qaq7cmsz0

😳What??! $120.00 for a copy of Stone Butch Blues on Amazon.ca! 😳...which seems antithetical to the themes of this book. One of my top three reads - highly recommend this phenomenal book!... only maybe don't buy it from Amazon for $120... #queer #queermedia #lgbtq #lgbtqai #pridemonth #lesliefeinberg #pride #stonebutchblues
