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.

complaining about eating/weight loss
So I weighed myself maybe a week ago, down 8 pounds from the last time. Good, right? Let's keep that weight melting off!
WRONG I weighed myself today at -3 from my old baseline. Fucking ridiculous I'm hungry all day, drinking water instead of eating all the time, still not enough. I guess just do this more??
(I know the advice I'll get is to eat grilled chicken and vegetables but I hate that.)
bmi and my view of my own, might be upsetting
My bmi is 25 too so I'm not exactly skinny, it's been lower. Fucking hate what meds did to me.
spoiler
the weight fluctuates daily, depending on way too many fucking reasons tbh. What I was told that you should weigh every day and then average those out to get pretty close to your actual weight. Mostly you just gotta keep a deficit and maybe do some cardio, cutie.
High intensity interval training is the best for fat loss
spoiler
I know it fluctuates, just kinda sucks how happy I was about it and then it feels like it got pulled away.
Maybe, I do love walks. I've been doing some short walks at night and it's really nice.
Eh, that all sounds normal to me. depending on when the last time I ate and/or how thirsty I am, I can fluctuate in a range of about 5 pounds
Kinda gross but you can "lose" like 3 pounds or more just by peeing if you have a really really full bladder lol
on spiro, that's very easy and regular for me lol
spoiler
Are you saying you lost 3 pounds from a week ago? Because that is pretty normal amount. (Honestly probably a bit too much to lose in one week still) You probably lost 8 pounds at the start just due to water weight, 1-2 pounds a week is a healthy amount especially since your bmi isn’t crazy high.
spoiler
No, three from my baseline a while ago, so like five over a week ago~. I I know that's a normal amount of fluctuation but I got really excited about losing weight but it looks like I haven't lost much.
I'd kill to be able to lose three pounds a week tbh. I don't have that in me though, especially to keep up for a while.
