It was during the Stonewall riots of 1969 that acclaimed author and trans-activist Leslie Feinberg came out. During that time of war and unemployment, Feinberg began a journey as a warrior in identity politics. Years later, the country’s political and economic climate is similar, and Feinberg is still on the front lines fighting for freedom of gender expression. Feinberg straddles the lines of defined gender—preferring to use neutral pronouns such as hir
and sie—and has dedicated hir life to challenging transgender bias.

Leslie Feinberg is the author of Stone Butch Blues; Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue; and Rainbow Solidarity: In Defense of Cuba.

Beverages and light refreshments will be served.
