Happy Pride to the anonymous lesbian editor who fixed and formatted the iffy epub of Stone Butch Blues for free and out it on internet archive as Feinberg intended, I love you 🌈
The epub version of stone butch blues was scanned and automatically converted from pdf. Because of errors it was later editing and properly formatted as an epub by an anonymous disabled lesbian to make this book accessible
