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.

makeup talk + advice/idea thing
Imo all eyes look good tightlined. If you get a lighter shade (or even white) on the inner bit, and black around to the outer corner, it can open your eyes and make them look brighter.One thing i do for tightlining is tightline from the outer corner in about 1/3 of the way (to the edge of my iris) in black. Then i tightline with white from the outer edge of my iris to the inner edge of my iris (like if you drew a vertical line at the inner- and outermost parts of your iris while looking straight ahead, thats your guide markers).
I had a friend walk me through her eyeliner method; shes asian and has very stereotypical asian eyes, so the eyeliner techniques most websites give dont work for her. My hooded eyes look good using her method imo, which is to mostly close one eye and just draw a straight line outward and extend that little line as though your eyelid doesnt stop. Then she draws the wings onto that extended line instead of onto her eyelid itself.
Also, if you have a subtle highlighter (maybe with some glitter in it), you can put that right at the inner part of your eye by your nose (not actually on your eye, but right next to it) and blend that in, and it brings the eye forward a bit and opens it up (or at least it does for me).
Also, apropos bathroom lighting, if you get it looking halfway decent in the bathroom mirror, itll look good out and about, generally speaking. If you get it looking good in the bathroom mirror, then youre fucking bulletproof

Okay thank you, but also text stuff is so confusingI like that about bathroom lighting though lol, good barometer I guess... I now walk around and try different lighting conditions when doing makeup though, helps I find.
