I am many things, but hopefully this will clear up some confusion before it arises. First and foremost, I am thusfar a cis-gendered, bi-sexual, slightly polyamorous daughter, sister, friend, wife, and mother to two beautiful boys.

I am very pro-breastfeeding, and with that I feel that formula should be used as a last resort when there are no other human milk options available. Check out Human Milk 4 Human Babies on facebook for more information.

I am also an intactivist, though much less vocal about it than previously. By this, I mean that I believe that all forms of infant circumcision (both male and female) are mutilation done without that person's consent. ALL babies and children have the right to their bodies being intact. Your religious freedom does not give you the right to cut upon another human being's body without their express consent.

(Fwiw, I also don't believe in piercing a little girl's ears before she is of the age to make the choice and care for them of her own accord, same goes for boys.)

I practice what is considered "attachment parenting" more or less. I have my moments where my temper gets the better of me and I yell, shout, or threaten. I'm working on it. But in no way do I advocate any form of violence towards my own children or those of anyone else. I also do not let my children "Cry-It-Out" partly because I think it's a form of child abuse/neglect, and partly because I really enjoy snuggling them peacefully to sleep. "Spanking" is not okay either. Some information can be found on Dr. Sears' website and Attachment Parenting International.
