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.

Am I the only neurotypical person here?
Because I used to be the only cis person browsing trans threads, and the way you all talk about stuff is starting to make me wonder
Subs, a new command has been sent down from the mountains, it states:
“Drink more water”
This may be incomprehensible to you. But it means you have to actually drink more water so you’re not as dehydrated.
Until we meet again… *dramatic cape flair exit*

“Interview of subject is not being recommended because of the questionable nature of his sexuality”
Wait are they saying that leslie would seduce whoever tried to interview hir and make them gay?
Edit: when you’re so gay and trans that it intimidates cops

Transphobia, incredibly messed up cis nonsense
There’s an account on Twitter of two cis women who pretend to be trans in order to sell subs for their OnlyFans. They put a trans flag in their account name, and post pictures of themselves in their underwear with obviously fake bulges. They also refer to themselves as boys, because that’s obviously what trans women do.
And of course, transphobes on that shithole of a platform are defending them with braindead takes like “men who pretend to be women are now mad at women pretending to be trans! hypocrisy much! hurr durr!”Everyone involved deserves a one way trip to
