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.

Star Trek:TNG posting
Gotten a couple more episodes in and I have some new thoughts
Firstly the show is a lot hornier than I though it would be, I’m only 7 episodes in and there’s already been two really horny ones, the one where there is an infection that causes everyone to act drunk and also the episode I’m currently on where they land on a planet with a bunch of fit beautiful people who wear skimpy clothing. It’s not necessarily a good or bad thing, just unexpected
Picard is a lot more reckless than I though he’d be, he’s made some really risky moves. Like the episode with the traveler where he pushes him instead of letting him rest for even a bit which could have completely fucked their only chance to get home. I get that the leader has to make hard decisions, but on occasion he seems too risky
Also Wesley is shaping up to be kind of annoying like I thought he’d be. Like he’s always right about everything but no one listens to him which creates conflict. I hope it gets better but I’m thinking he’s going to mildly annoy me the whole series
fun fact roddenberry wanted it to be even hornier than it is but got vetoed by literally everyone
Q
More Q and Picard would have been fun alas
But thankful for the veto lol
Yeah, Roddenberry had some issues, and i think in this case hornier would not have been better because of him
Q
That being said an enemies-to-lovers arc with picard and q would have been something else. Idk if id like it, but i want it yk?
Yeah I was aware and glad that it wasn't any hornier lol
Would have liked more lol they had realy good chemistry
takes a while for the show to hit its stride, but yeah star trek has always had a weird horny under current in some episodes. Wesley never gets better, he will continue to be that annoying, post star trek career too
