Wow, good work! While I'm not entirely on board with un-trained people casting armchair diagnoses to smear their enemies, I am very much in favor of greater awareness and education about abuse because I wholly agree that we only protect people from it by talking about it. I also am VERY much in agreement with you that mental-health gatekeeping and the backlash against "therapy speak" in colloquial usage are problematic and stand to harm people. (I've drafted an essay on this, actually, and reading yours has given me inspiration to return to it!)

Great analysis, Shannon.
