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.

Playing The Knight of Lodis and wondering when someone will finally put queers in a turn-based-tactics game.
A tactics game where you do stonewall shit and protect yourselves from the state
Hexbear game studio when?
I'm a game dev
I say in a room full of trans women, and thus, also game devs
Im unfortunately not a game dev
, but not for lack of trying! I can do the logic and markov chain stuff and all that jazz, but putting pictures and images to it always ends with me confused and frustrated 
Ive been wanting to learn trial tho (is game engine in CL), maybe this time it will make sense to me.
Read that as game engine for CLI at first and got unreasonably excited
How would that even work? At that point wouldnt you just be doing abstractions over ncurses? Or i guess you could try putting the output of whatever youre doing through libcaca....
Unless you mean like for text adventure stuff
Pretty much. Plus stuff for, idk, collision detection, physics, etc? I’m not a game dev idk what would be involved. I just looked up libcaca, and it looks pretty cool, but jesus christ why would you name your project after literal shit
Hmmm yk that doesnt sound too hard tbh
(she says, having not looked into it at all, not knowing the deep intricacies of this undertaking)
Unfortunately, I'm not that kind of trans.
I'm sorry you've cultivated skills useful to society
Guess I'm doin game dev stuff now.
Idc if it's problematic. Genders are classes with corresponding skillbanks
My wife said this too so it has to be real. Sexualities are modifiers with stat bonuses, like natures in Pokemon lol
Minmaxing my agender domtop
The base starter class is egg lol
Once an egg cracks, it becomes a random gender like when recruits take on a class in x-com
I WANT THIS NOW
The best we're gonna get is a Fire Emblem femboy or the one gay character from FE: Shadows of Valentia.
(All I know is Fire Emblem, I need to branch out 😑)
Three Houses had gays in it I thought, but I don't wanna be a fuckin monarchist.
My dumbass forgot Edelgard, I even had her as my avatar for a while what is wrong with me.
Also if you don't want a monarchy play Black Eagles 😉 (assuming you haven't already)
Can you actually dismantle the crown in Three Houses? Game sounded really fuckin annoying, but.
I've only played Awakening and Fates as far as FE games go, I have Thracia 776 queued up to play fwiw.
Black Eagles allows you do do something fun with Edelgard.
Three Houses spoilers
She essentially wants to dismantle class society throughout the continent, and that involves overthrowing all other nations (monarchy and oligarchy) and the church, which holds the most power over the continent. It's from the position of emperor, but she has less power to start than it might seem. Gets a bit political.
The best part is you get to have Edelgard as a houseleader, meaning when picking female Byleth you get to do some Lesbianism (it's also my favorite romance/support in the game).
Okay hold on is there only one lesbianism in this fuckin game?
No, but it's the most explicit one. I believe Mercedes is also an option, but Edelgard has a special relation to Byleth and is a house leader (main lord), meaning more time for conversations, which means more time for relationship and character development.
I am sure there are others, but I love Edelgard too much to let Byleth ever be with somebody else. anime lesbian Lenin power couple
I need to try Thracia as well, though I'll probably play Genealogy of the Holy War first (and that's after all of the games I've started). Also reccomend the Sacred Echoes GBA ROM hack I posted about a little while ago, they took Shadows of Valentia and added more queers (along with a ton of other positive changes).
Wtf Sacred Echoes has GAYS and nobody fucking told me????? Jesus christ why are people like this. Fuck Thracia, I'm gay.
