Leslie Feinberg speech at Aswat conference 2007

"Leslie Feinberg, a lesbian transgender and Jewish communist and a managing editor of Workers World, delivered the following solidarity statement to the first public conference of Aswat—​Palestinian Gay Women—​in Haifa on March 28, 2007. Bracketed words, phrases and sentences were delivered in Arabic. The 10th anniversary of comrade Leslie’s death will be marked on Nov. 15."

[I know where I stand: in historic Palestine. So my first words must be in Arabic. Thank you for inviting me here. It is the largest honor in my life. I salute Aswat.]

My first words in English must be why I am here, within the 1948 borders of the Israeli settler state. Why am I here when the colonial occupier set up an apartheid state in the name of Jewish people and co-opts the symbol of Judaism, stitching it into every uniform, flying it from every tank turret?

Why am I here when I remember, every day of my adult life, what happened to the people of Deir Yassin?"

Unfortunately, film material of hir speech has been removed from YT and Insta.

so if you’re a baby #trans or a younger trans person you might want to get yourself a copy of #StoneButchBlues which is free for all from https://www.lesliefeinberg.net

when our adversaries lie
and say we’re a novelty of this time
this great piece of lit
proves they’re full of shit
because this great book has been
out since before they first breathed in.

I ei djupt urettvis og ufri menneskeverd, anbefaler katten min ei bok som kan bidra til å gjera kroppen til den som les henne ekstra deileg å liggja på:

so, Heavy trigger warnings for at least SBB. so many of them. I can't list them comprehensively, so if you consume your media with trigger warnings i strongly ask of you to check the tws before reading/deciding whether to read it or not.

i mean, whats the reality of an parentally abandoned often rejected lesbian trans teen trying to survive on the streets in 1970?

terrifying

@melissawm

in a lesbian context, #StoneButchBlues by Leslie Feinberg. changed my life and i got better understanding myself, my gender, and genders of others in my lesbian community. i think many would find it validating and challenging

but really any of hir work. i haven't read #TransgenderWarriors yet, but i like what she shared in audio format. it's all available online for free, as sie requested before her passing 1/2
