Leslie Feinberg: Defiant Radical, Gender Queer Revolutionary

http://www.thenation.com/article/191249/leslie-feinberg-defiant-radical-gender-queer-revolutionary#

This article remembers Leslie Feinberg, a gender queer activist. Feinberg first became known for writing a novel about the experiences of being gay in America during the 1960's and 1970's. The book was published in the early 1990's and presented the world with a look into the struggles faced by America's LGBT community and worked to humanize queer life and experience.

By the end of her life, Leslie began using female pronouns. Though it is interesting to note that her use of pronouns changed and evolved over time, as she believed her gender to be fluid and ever changing.
