Leslie Feinberg was born on September 1, 1949 in Kansas City, Missouri, United States.
In 1993 Leslie published "Stone Butch Blues", an autobiographical novel about a masculine female and her unhappy experiences in a heterosexual culture. Her second novel, "Drag King Dreams", was released in 2006. Feinberg is also the author of "Transgender Warriors: Making History from Joan of Arc to RuPaul", a history of transgender. In 2009 she released "Rainbow Solidarity in Defense of Cuba" - a compilation of 25 journalistic articles. Feinberg was a managing editor of Workers World newspaper.
Feinberg described herself as "an anti-racist white, working-class, secular Jewish, transgender, lesbian, female, revolutionary communist." Feinberg stated in a 2006 interview that her preferred pronouns varied depending on context.
Quotations: For me, pronouns are always placed within context. I am female-bodied, I am a butch lesbian, a transgender lesbian - referring to me as "she/her" is appropriate, particularly in a non-trans setting in which referring to me as "he" would appear to resolve the social contradiction between my birth sex and gender expression and render my transgender expression invisible. I like the gender neutral pronoun "ze/hir" because it makes it impossible to hold on to gender/sex/sexuality assumptions about a person you're about to meet or you've just met. And in an all trans setting, referring to me as "he/him" honors my gender expression in the same way that referring to my sister drag queens as "she/her" does.
Feinberg and Minnie Bruce Pratt married in New York and Massachusetts in 2011.
