Great article. Glad to see KMT push back against online trolls in a way that is strong, measured, but also humanizes her by allowing her to open up about her struggle.

I did have one comment about the following quote:

“It reinforced within me rules that were written before I was born, rules that made my parents deem it necessary to abandon their real names and adopt American ones — Tony and Kay — so it was easier for others to pronounce, a literal erasure of culture that still has me aching to the core.”

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with voluntary cultural assimilation (in fact I think it’s desirable to a certain extent) as long as you don’t let it erase your native culture. It is possible to have both.
