Collection of speeches and essays from Leslie and other organizers. We all need to fight for our collective liberation from capitalism and oppressive systems. Mentioned that Hoover was a gay cross dresser, need to look up. Addressed corrupt medical system, education and war as well as trans liberation.

4☆ — a little collection of speeches delivered by les feinberg during various occasions, interspersed by inputs from various trans persons and their personal experiences and sentiments. this is my first experience with feinberg's work and i quite liked it; the writing kept it to the point and delivered what it had to. i also think it could be a good introduction for anyone looking to dive into literature concerning the trans experience.

A really inspiring collection of speeches from Feinberg.
"When we allow ourselves to be split along lines of oppression, we always lose. But when we put forward a collective list of demands together, and fight to defend each other from attacks, we frequently win."
If you are trans and feeling like you need some inspiration, or you need to see some historical representation and understand how many people have fought for us - this is a great read.
