The photo is a 1974 photo of Leslie Feinberg, from the FBI file on hir. I've written a piece on my interpretation of Transgender Warriors and Trans Liberation, but I don't think it's quite polished enough, so I'll post it later. Instead, I'll go over hir FBI file: https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/dc-metro/rg-065/6282555/Batch0010/6282555_100-HQ-480756.PDF.
The FBI thought Feinberg could be violating the Communist Control Act, advocating the overthrow of the government, and engaging in rebellion. Needless to say, a hero to all of us. Feinberg was a member of the Workers World Party (the party still exists, but more notably PSL split from it), which apparently wasn't openly advocating for the overthrow of the U.S, they just think it's inevitable.
My favorite line? "captioned subject is believed to be a white female, who became male through some kind of sex change operation, and is possibly homosexual". Some interesting language choice, and it's an interesting snapshot into the evolution of Leslie's identity.
The FBI found Leslie's place of birth and birthdate from public school records. It's a bit of an interesting look into all of the many places the FBI can get their information, along with how information like that was so much more patchwork before the digital age.
"Interview of subject is not being recommended because of the questionable nature of his sexuality". Hmm, interesting.
It's interesting how their investigation spanned multiple cities, from Kansas City to NYC to Bufffalo to Boston. It probably involved quite a few officers, though I'm sure it wasn't the main focus for all of them.
There's some interesting mention about changes in Leslie's gender identity. Born a girl, for a time wearing a beard and mustache, then going back to "she". I'm sure we all know, Feinberg's gender didn't stop evolving there.
"Subject reportedly contributes all extra money to WWP", Leslie definitely was dedicated to the cause. Leslie doesn't attend NYC WWP meetings, but the FBI doesn't mention why.
The FBI isn't immune to typoes, Leslie did some "criminal terspass" that garnered some attention.They wasted some time checking if Leslie was in Boston, but verified where Leslie in NYC lived by pretending to be a part of the Voter Registration Commission.
There's a whole 43 pages of documents, all just from 1974-75. There's plenty of interesting tidbits in there, so maybe check it out.

Which DMC is actually good tho :3
i'm a fan of the french company that makes embroidery thread
i had fun with 3, 4 and 5
no, it's just old and suffers from stilted controls after you've played later incarnations
Fr, I played both Bayonettas and really liked them, could not surpass boss 1 in dmc.
yeah, modern character action games have far surpassed that era but it's not like those ones suck now. you just have to know the Historical Context
Otogi is cool....
i've never played it but it looks cool. i wonder if i can emulate original xbox
CXBX-R works better than XEMU but both have dumb game format requirements. I could not get Otogi to boot :^)
I could never get into the bayonetta games as much. I kinda chalk it up to me not liking bayo as much as a character compared to Dante or Nero
Bayonetta is kinda cringe :3
I played 4 pretty recently and was surprised about how lazy it was
the story kinda stinks but the gameplay is so good
I think Dante's gameplay was fun but Nero was pretty bland.
I also think the design is pretty lazy, as they make you just replay the same shit a lot
it absolutely suffered from the same thing as MGSV where they essentially designed half a game's worth of content and worked around it
Nero is improved a lot in 5 imo, he's the one i spend the most amount of time with in that game.
I also spent all my time with Dante there.
I don't feel like Nero's arm extensions had a lot of variety. I feel like most of them just put enemies into a hitstun state with different animations, but didn't affect how I approached an encounter. I also didn't like that it had ammo.
1,3,4,5 are the good ones. Though i would say 3 and 5 are my favorites.
Understandable...
