I’m Stirring the Pot

Posted: July 25, 2007 at 6:52 pm

Man, people don’t like it when I actually use my voice to speak out and challenge people, do they? They would really, really rather me be quiet and subdued and just tell birth parents how to quietly live their lives. When I step out and challenge that status quo, even on something as non-consequential as titles, people get their knickers in a twist. And that, my friends, shows that something, somewhere is working. Twist away, knickers. Twist away.
