Beyond Pink or Blue

The Transgender Movement, Yesterday, Today and the Future


The Center for Culture, Gender, and Sexuality is pleased to announce that world-renowned social activist and author Leslie Feinberg will be visiting Sonoma State University on April 26th at 7:30 p.m. in the Cooperage. Feinberg's first novel, Stone Butch Blues (1993), has received a wildly popular response in the United States and has been translated into Chinese, German, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Slovenian and Hebrew. Feinberg's historical work, Transgender Warriors: Making History from Joan of Arc to RuPaul is the first analysis of the historical roots of transgender oppression and Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue (Beacon) contains a compilation of speeches by the author with written portraits by other trans activists. Drag King Dreams, Feinberg's second published novel, was released in March 2006. Feinberg has toured the country, speaking at Pride rallies and protest marches, and at scores of colleges and universities. Currently Feinberg is a national leader of the Workers World Party, and a managing editor and political journalist of the Workers World newspaper.

Les Feinberg is a true American hero who speaks for everyone who has suffered injustice. And a warm hearted, just plain nice person.

I'm in 10th grade and our history class is on it's unit of gender and sexuality (and injustice thereof). I brought in Stone Butch Blues, read one excerpt, and my entire class decided to read the book. As of last month, it's required reading for all four grades. It changed my life, and made me fully appreciate and understand how lucky I truly am. I'm a fucking different person now, and it's liberating. I love Leslie

You broke my heart when I heard Gay people use the North Vietnam flag... The south would've won if the U.S. didn't put their asses in. How do I know? My dad's a general next to president Ngo Dinh Diem.

@butchMB09 speaks the truth.

To those calling Feinberg a "he" or "she," are incorrectly doing so. They go by gender neutral pronouns.

There were no "anti-Jewish" witch hunts of the 1950s.

There were ANTI-COMMUNIST investigations and yes, many Jews were (and continue to be) communists. In many ways, Joe McCarthy was right - but his reputation was destroyed by the communist Jews who he "outed."

I'm a huge Feinberg fan.

He made great points, esp abt uniting LGBT people (im one of em) with the cause of blacks (one of em too), immigrants, iraqis, everyone poor and oppressed everywhere.

Pisses me off when so-called "gay rights groups" like HRC, controlled by uptight bourgie white guys, refused 2 take a stand on iraq war. These wars ARE gay issues! Peace, civil rights, justice, all together.

We need another Gay Liberation Front from the Stonewall days. Not Hrc

He's simply amazing and courageous.

[subliminalmedia]

well spoken still doesn't change the fact there is an imbalance in the mind. Uni sex is another thing you still need to understand what you are. How to do that is to look in the mirror? Who am I.. Can you see?

I had coffee Leslie after a speech At UC in Cincinnati Ohio years ago. Very moving.
