I think this essay is timely beyond simply being “on schedule.” Yours is a voice that we need right now.
Even among the non-Asian, non-adopted demographics of your readership many will still fall into the category of “trauma survivors” (slash their loved ones). And with words helping construct narratives which help construct personalities and therefore cultures, we all benefit from learning to language more carefully around trauma.
