Introduction!

     Hello! I hope that you are having a wonderful day! I'm overjoyed that you decided to pop in and see what this page all about! I am Thursday, a 34 year old proud transgender woman, social justice paladin, and socialist. I am pansexual and polyamorous. I'm a happily married woman, married to a non-binary transgender man. I am a resident of the accursed United States.
     I am primarily active on Twitter, where I can be found as @fem_thursday. While there, I do my best to put out a message of hope and validation. I try to affirm my fellow trans and non-gender conforming people, and offer some of my thoughts about the issues surrounding who we are. I also do my best to counter the narratives of the bigots who decry our existence and call us predators, as well as oppose those who insist that there is only one right way to be transgender or non-binary. I fight against exclusionary ideologies that call people "transtrenders" or other such inflammatory and harmful names. I oppose gate-keeping with all of my might.
     I struggle with ADHD, severe anxiety, and PTSD, and I advocate for all others who must struggle with mental illness. I firmly believe that it is the duty of society to become more tolerant of us, and more accessible to us. This also goes for those of us who struggle with physical disability. I am hard of hearing, and in time, will become mostly deaf. Acceptance and accessibility are issues that are dear to me, and are a matter of life and death for many.
     I stand for the rights of all people, and I stand against bigotry and ignorant hatred. I believe in the inherent value of life, and I strongly believe in the right of all people to exist without undue suffering. All people have the right to food, clothing and shelter, regardless of their ability to be productive. Wealth and power must be distributed fairly and equally among the people. I believe in the power of social revolution, and in the need for such a monumental event in our lifetimes.
     I decided to make this blog so that I could more fully put out the various ideas floating around in my head. So, while many of these posts will probably deal with issues related to gender, sexuality, social justice, and larger social concerns, not all will be so heady. I'll also be talking about my thoughts on media, games, and whatever else might pop into my mind! It will be an ongoing side project of mine, and may change formats, be subject to irregular updates, or may even be left by the wayside in due time as other interests take charge of my limited amount of free time.
     Feel free to contact me, either through this platform or on Twitter. Questions, comments, concerns, complaints, or suggestions for thing to talk about are all welcome. Of course, hate is not welcome, but I know that it not being welcome won't stop anyone. So, feel free to shoot your bigotry my way as well, and I'll be sure to use it as fodder for writing something. Otherwise, I hope that the content I provide, or will provide soon, brings you entertainment, education, and new thoughts!

Persona 4

     I am a huge fan of the Persona video game series, and in particular, I'm all about Persona 4. I love the characters, the art style,...
