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.

😳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
