Feinberg called her experience with railroad security “part of the terror being directed against people” and said that, though she was able to get on a later train this time with her I.D., she might not be so lucky the next time she seeks to travel.
According to Feinberg, it also means potential trouble for women who’ve escaped abusive husbands or boyfriends by using post office boxes or the homes of relatives or friends as their official addresses for identification purposes.
Feinberg contrasted this “Left of the Left” perspective with a different sort of Marxist analysis that argues that the first task of the workers’ revolution is to fight the class struggle and bring down the capitalists, and only then can racial, sexual, gender and other differences be addressed.

Feinberg, a surgically and hormonally transgendered female-to-male and the author of the novel Stone Butch Blues, here effectively pummels several old saws about gender, such as that there were two or three centuries in ancient Greece that constituted the golden age of gayness ("How happy were the gay slaves?" she asks).
Feinberg, for example, expends little effort in looking into why a notorious band of male Welsh revolutionaries calling themselves Rebecca and Her Daughters dressed as women to destroy tollbooths in the mid-19th century.
Feinberg is able to achieve visibility for heterosexistly obscured transgender moments and people across a lengthy span of time and geography.

I thought that Leslie Feinberg's talk was very interesting, and totally different from what I expected it to be.
She talked to us, she explained to us, she taught us, and by doing that, she got her points of unity, recognizing each other's differences in order to move forward, and realizing that everyone isn't a man or a woman, and you should be proud of yourself whoever you are.
Leslie is a very interesting woman and has a lot to teach the world.

 TRANSGENDER WARRIOR LESLIE FEINBERG SPEAKS : Indybay
Perhaps Leslie Feinberg is now associated with some political party that some may disagree with but overall I think you have to judge Feinberg by her own writings and not by the beliefs of others in the antiwar group in which she works.
Its hard to belive that people are red baiting and trying to tar and feather Feinberg with the homophobic beliefs of the CPUSA of early 1900s when Feinberg herself wrote about some of those issues in her book without advertising for any party.
Unlike the RCP the WWP doest have pictures of Stalin on the walls of their offices and thier tendency to support nationalist leaders being attacked by the US could be interpreted as more of an effort to try to prevent wars than to really support those leaders.

In all of hir writings, Feinberg testifies to the reality of economic hardships experienced by so many in our queer communities, counteracting the widespread misconception that all queer people are able-bodied, white gay men with disposable income (a myth perpetuated both by conservative heterosexuals and conservative gays).
It is these interpersonal and intrapersonal journeys throughout Drag King Dreams that showcase Feinberg's ability to tell an important and touching story about the intertwined lives we live, and the need for us to join in struggle with one another, fighting the wars (literal and metaphorical alike) side-by-side until justice is achieved.
Feinberg's writing is beyond compelling, and anyone who finishes reading this book and isn't moved to action of some kind, well...just isn't awake.

The ever present emotional and physical struggles involved in Jess' life were heartbreaking and most of the time she found herself "drowning in loneliness."

Feinberg writes in the voice of Max, successfully avoiding gender-identifying pronouns, except through the words of others.
Feinberg hirself uses gender-neutral terms like ze and hir to refer to hirself, so I’ll follow that practice in my review.
Probably this is an intentional move on Feinberg’s part, who is emphasizing the radical difference in the way these characters live, and the rest of the world.

 Minnie Bruce Pratt: Leslie Feinberg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
In 1992 I met Leslie at hir slideshow/lecture in Washington, D.C., where s/he spoke on the historical basis for unity among people who experience different oppressions—and where s/he read, looking up at me, from hir classic "Letter to a Fifties Femme." Now, seven years later, s/he is my "one and only," my beloved lesbian husband.
My adult life has been an exhilarating struggle to understand how to resist, militantly, the oppressive categories that the ruling status quo places on us, and how to live, triumphantly, the identities and complexities that we feel to be true for ourselves.
As my life and Leslie’s flowed together, I gained immeasurably in my understanding of that struggle—in my understanding of how we live all our sexualities, sex identities, and gender expressions.

Capsule portraits include Latino "lesbian" Michael Hernandez, Stonewall veteran Sylvia Rivera and Craig Hickman, who invokes RuPaul's dictum that "gender is performance." Feinberg highlights outdated legal statutes prohibiting cross-dressing, and the social and economic consequences of their implementation.
She also discusses "gender reassignment" surgery, which she says is standard practice in the U.S. for infants born with seemingly ambiguous genitalia, but which she sees as more of a service to worried parents than for the children.
Above all, Feinberg seeks a reordering of society, with unity as the ultimate goal, and gives frequent examples of the commonalities that transcend race, social class, physical abilities and gender.

Though seemingly trapped in a world-weary, self-made transgender noir of tough breaks and lassitude, Max is returning to activism by book's end.
Long before films like Boys Don't Cry alerted the world to the challenges--and extreme violence--transgendered people experience, Leslie Feinberg's blockbuster classic, Stone Butch Blues, offered a harrowing window onto transgendered life.
Her brutally candid autobiographical novel about a blue-collar butch lesbian coming of age in pre-Stonewall Buffalo, New York electrified readers everywhere, particularly "genderqueers," whose lives up to that point had been marginalized even by lesbians and gay men.

This is important to me.

Feinberg’s presence and ability to educate at that campus signals other changes I want to see, such as instructors putting trans issues on the curriculum more and assigning relevant materials.
