Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Stone Butch Blues is a 1993 semi-autobiographical novel by transgender activist Leslie Feinberg. It follows the story of Jess, a "he-she" (later "butch," as the story progresses and she hates herself less) from a working class Jewish family. After she is raped on campus by members of the football team trying to "cure" her and the crime is dismissed by the school authorities, she runs away from home and begins a new life, growing up under the supervision of older lesbians, who provide her with a sense of community. Later, she becomes a union activist. Jess considers and undergoes hormone therapy and attempts to transition to being a man, but ultimately decides to remain a "stone butch," and forsakes transitioning. |
