What You Don't Know...

I'm a little sick of random internet trolls assuming that they've got me pegged based on one sentence I've typed or one snippet of information about my life. "This is your stereotype", "here's your sign", and "let me tell you everything I know about you based on the fact that you disagree with ONE thing I said". People are complex, and you can't know everything about anyone based on one random Facebook conversation, Twitter battle, or even story they've published. 

I'm...
Homeschooling my kidNot a helicopter parent--let him learn from his own mistakes!NOT a believer in "free range" child raisingBut totally for free range chicken and eggs!Against factory farmingNot vegetarian (yay grass fed beef!)For marriage equalityFriends with some fabulous ChristiansGay (and asexual)Married to an amazing man (happily)PolyamorousNot really interested in dating. Or sleeping around.FemmeA former martial arts championBlondeAble to speak Spanish (and I'm married to a brown guy)Obsessed with proper grammarBest friends with someone who loves text speakPro responsible gun ownershipPro home birthPro choiceProvocative.

I'm a fabulous cook and a terrible housekeeper. I'm a knitter and I've trained in circus arts. I'm a walking contradiction, and you know what? I bet you are, too. And, probably, so is the guy or gal on the other side of whatever online debate you're having. Try to remember that before you pigeon-hole somebody. It's annoying, and it's utterly uncreative of you.
