Hi there, my name is Joe Cat, I made this thing, then this thing, then this thing, I like and today I'm going to do a different thing. I think trans people are cool. Unfortunately, not everyone in positions of power thinks so. So I'm going to use my position in power to help them out where I can. Starting this Thursday, March 2nd, a team of top tier skilled players and I will be taking on the Omega Protocol Ultimate Raid, or top for short, in Final Fantasy 14. Ultimate Raids are the absolute pinnacle of difficulty in Final Fantasy 14, to the point where they require months of intense skill and patience and trial and error in order to complete. And this one is touted to be the hardest one yet. It's going to be my first time doing one. I am terrified. And all throughout this, what's looking likely to be a 6-7-month journey, I'll be streaming my side of things and taking donations to raise money for gendered intelligence, a UK-based charity focused on making a world where diverse gender expressions are visible and valued, and where trans, non-binary and gender-diverse and gender questioning people live healthy, safe and fulfilled lives. I'm cisgender, which is to say I identify with the gender I was assigned at birth. That means I am in a lucky enough position that I don't have to worry much about my identity or rights being called into question by the government, hospitals, or random weirdos. I don't have to make nearly as many sacrifices in my day to day as trans people have to do their entire lives. So the least I can do is use my position and privilege to help ease that struggle. I've got donation goal rewards where if we've reached a certain milestone, now do something special for you guys, whether it be playing a spooky game, as someone who is very easily spooked, or showing off my own gender non-conforming wear that I've always wanted to wear publicly but never found the courage to. In addition, I'll be keeping track of every time the team wipes, that is to say when everyone dies in the progress throughout the raid, and we'll be donating a dollar of my own money to gendered intelligence for each wipe. I'll be streaming all raid progression on my Twitch channel every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 6 to 10 pm central time if you'd like to tune in and or help out with a donation. The link to donate will be down in the description of this video as well as on my Twitch page so be sure to throw your money there. So yeah, wish me luck, I'll see you there, and trans rights.
