Leslie Feinberg Quote: “History teaches us that when an economic crisis hits, the process of scapegoating becomes more intense and more violent. African-American, Latino, Asian, and Arab peoples, lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals, feminists, trans people – and others who have been in the forefront of progress – will increasingly find themselves in the crosshairs. And the gains we made will all be under siege, as well.”

Leslie Feinberg Quote: “Too many of us as trans people have experienced something similar to the ‘Miss or Mrs.’ query – except it feels much more demeaning. It’s the address I call ‘Mamsir.’ You know what I mean: ‘Here’s your change, ma’am, I mean sir, I mean ma’am, I mean sir.’ It’s debasing and embarrasses both people and anyone else who is listening. I despise the class subordination that resides in those once-mandatory forms of address, as well.”

Consciousness plays an important role in cementing this coalition.

Leslie Feinberg Quote: “For revolutionaries, theory that is not a guide to action is a worthless intellectual exercise. Our analysis has to be as taut as a diving board that enables us to springboard into the fray, to be able to recognize allies and enemies, and put an end to economic inequality and social injustice altogether.”
