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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The story explores gender, sexuality, and intersectionality from the perspective of a character trying to find a place in life. Jess undergoes hormone therapy in order to transition to pass as a man, but ultimately decides that she is tired of living in a way that feels unauthentic and stops taking testosterone. While she/her pronouns are used to refer to Jess, in today's terms, Jess would likely identify as nonbinary or genderqueer.The novel is very much Truth in Television for the time period, and that should depress you. | |

Ambiguous Gender Identity | |
| Stone Butch Blues / int_463da046 | comment |
Ambiguous Gender Identity: Jess. She outright states that she doesn't feel like a woman, but she isn't a man either. Removing her breast tissue is something that she doesn't regret, but she has complicated feelings on transitioning. The changes brought about by testosterone don't seem to distress her so much as the feeling of passing as a straight man, and in the end she gives up on attempting to pass. | |

Ambiguously Gay: After she starts passing as a man Jess has a complicated tryst with a woman who seems to think of Jess as a man, but as they eventually part ways it is unclear if she wasn't actually aware that Jess wasn't a cis man. | |
