I believe in human freedom.
In the tension between who we want to be and the molds society tries to press us into, I tend to come down on the side of the individual. This comes out in various ways. I am a feminist. I stand against slavery--including forced birth, which I consider the most intimate, invasive form of slavery. I stand against coercion of religion. I believe everyone has the right to change or not change his or (more often her) name.
