      From an interview with Leslie Feinberg, from this issue of FtM Newsletter: https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=AHSI&u=ksstate_ukans&v=2.1&it=r&id=GALE%7CMGIJMN975044579&asid=1614315600000~3462eeb4 …pic.twitter.com/pk1rDIexwf

      KH Sounds like a really horrible situation, and then really turning that around. LF I think it’s horrible for all transgendered people. We all understand what that’s like- What a beautiful baby. Is it a boy or a girl? You know? Fink or blue. If you can’t answer those simply, your life is gonna be— KH Hell. LF Hell. That’s right. It’s a nightmare that I think each of us has lived through. Each of us has done something different with it, and arrived where we are now. We have the potential for a community. We get to develop our own language, our own individual identities, our group identity, so now kids coming up will know there’s a place to go, they’ll have a word for themselves, or ten words for themselves. But it’ll be our own words, not the words that were always used to make us ashamed of ourselves. We can come up with our own language, we can reach out to a whole new generation that’s growing up and say, “if you can’t answer the question boy or girl very easily, come talk to us.”

      That interview was printed over three different issues. The quote above is from part two. The first one can be found here: https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=AHSI&u=ksstate_ukans&v=2.1&it=r&id=GALE%7CBWOSIR780221632&asid=1614315600000~9e0710bf …

      And part three is in this issue and talks a lot about Stone Butch Blues. https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=AHSI&u=ksstate_ukans&v=2.1&it=r&id=GALE%7CINWKEV912176876&asid=1614315600000~ae08a335 …

      Can really relate to this quote from part three. It resonates with me as someone who feels a connection with both transmasculinity and womanhood.pic.twitter.com/wK1LLdcaz7

      KH I have a couple more questions about your period of cross-living. If you had gone all the way, and had the lower surgery, would that have made any difference in your decision to remain as a female ? LF I don’t think so, because when I explain to people that I am a woman, it’s because I want them to understand that I’m transgendered. It’s not that I’m saying that I’m just like other women. I think it’s sort of saying that I’m FTM, although FTM, as a phrase, doesn’t always mean living as a man. FTM can signify transgender, not just male. No matter what changes have taken place in my life, physically, or otherwise, I would still end up saying: I am transgender, and my direction is FTM, not visa versa.

          Another powerful quote from part three. S/he uses older language but what s/he's talking about is still very real and relevant. Those fighting for trans liberation are still trying to get this message across to people. (broke up quote to fit alt-text)pic.twitter.com/weZEJRZQYM

          KH So basically, you are trying to say that this is what it’s like to go through this, and you want them to understand that ? LF That’s right. I want them to know that when we talk about transgenderism, that this is not an abstract discussion about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, or what you mean by gender. Everybody always asks for definitions—what do you mean by this? What do you mean by that? What I say is” When I am waiting on the D train platform in Manhattan at 2 am and a group of whitebashers, teenagers who are stoned, say, “There’s one of ’em now.” That’s the definition of transgender.
          That’s what my life is like. So, you can discuss all these questions of gender, and that’s a very valuable discussion; but I am talking about oppression. I’m talking about something that's so real that it never gets named in this society. Everybody knows what happens to TV's an TS’s who get read, but nobody talks about it. I wanna say that this is what life is like—it’s gotta stop. People who aren’t transgendered have to take a stand.

          i often think about trans as relationality, direction, and style –– i'm not ftm, but trans is the way i articulate my relationship to lesbianism/butchness. trans, to me, is a continuous "becoming," and i want to fill my dykehood with possibility.
