So extremely varied in accuracy.
Which is very frustrating.
But I do think we're safe in claiming the blonde thing.
And only in part because you do an excellent intimidating look.

I do! It is easier in America, to be honest. People hear the accent and tend to go right to 'bruiser.' Which. They are not wrong, so.

Movies really do love portraying a stereotype.
You're a lot more than a bruiser, though.

[so_many_pockets]

They really do.
I am okay with it if that is all most people know of me, though. All the other things, they are not so much for public consumption.

That's a really good way of looking at it.
I imagine there's a nice sort of - relief, maybe? Or in having that feeling of a barrier between yourself and public perception.

I don't know if I can call it relief, being public perceived at all makes me extraordinarily uncomfortable, but - there is a gratefulness that I can keep that line drawn, at least for now. I think I would lose my mind fully, otherwise.

It is oddly nerve wracking, knowing that people are interested in what you have to say and what you're doing. Especially considering the fact that public perception isn't historically...kind to women.
I do think it's possible to keep the line drawn, though. Especially when you can be discerning about what you share.
