Stone Butch Blues, by Leslie Feinberg

Good books show you alternatives to the world around you that have a kind of emotional truth to them. I found this book when I was in college, and it made me feel less alone in the world. Though my ideas of gender have changed since, at the time when I first read it, it helped me reimagine my world. As Feinberg once wrote, “. . . if theory is not the crystallized resin of experience, it ceases to be a guide to action.”
