Stone Butch Blues (1993) is a heartbreaking, moving and deeply intelligent story written by author, organiser, trans activist and butch lesbian, Leslie Feinberg. They described themselves as an “anti-racist white, working-class, secular Jewish, transgender, lesbian, female, revolutionary communist." Leslie Feinberg (1949–2014). It is considered one of the polemic works of trans fiction, and is described by Feinberg – in hir own words – as both a lesbian and transgender novel, “making ‘trans’ genre a verb, as well as an adjective.”

Leslie Feinberg was a pioneering transgender activist, author and communist who significantly intersected trans liberation with disability justice. At the time of hir death in 2014, Feinberg was preparing the 20th anniversary edition of Stone Butch Blues, working up until just days before hir passing to make the text freely available online in an open-access format. Within activism, Feinberg demanded ‘deaf and disabled access’ as part of a broader human rights agenda. With this in mind, this audiobook now exists to bridge that gap between the written novel and an accessible audio version, in time for the 33rd year and 4th decade of the book being in existence.”
