Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg
About this Event

This month the discussion will be on Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg.

Published in 1993, this brave, original novel is considered to be the finest account ever written of the complexities of a transgendered existence.

Woman or man? That’s the question that rages like a storm around Jess Goldberg, clouding her life and her identity. Growing up differently gendered in a blue--collar town in the 1950’s, coming out as a butch in the bars and factories of the prefeminist ’60s, deciding to pass as a man in order to survive when she is left without work or a community in the early ’70s. This powerful, provocative and deeply moving novel sees Jess coming full circle, she learns to accept the complexities of being a transgendered person in a world demanding simple explanations: a he-she emerging whole, weathering the turbulence.

Leslie Feinberg is also the author of Trans Liberation, Trans Gender Warriors and Transgender Liberation, and is a noted activist and speaker on transgender issues.About the Book Club:

The group-driven book list will be a mix of fiction and non-fiction with an emphasis on personal growth and parent voices. In addition to the book discussion we will also focus on the strength of the community and advocacy opportunities.
