Yes, I have also observed there is also an awful lot of "Epistemic and Testimonial Injustice", defined as "exclusion and silencing; systematic distortion or misrepresentation of one’s meanings or contributions; undervaluing of one's status or standing in communicative practices; unfair distinctions in authority; and unwarranted distrust", when it comes to people with chronic conditions trying to navigate healthcare systems. Also, may I recommend a book recently published by a children's psychologist friend of mine, Louis Weinstock, it is called "How the World is Making Our Children Mad and What to Do About It: A field guide to raising empowered children and growing a more beautiful world" - I think this would be a good fit.
Gary, thank you for sharing this phrase, which adds formal heft to the personal feeling and harm. And thank you for the book recommendation. It looks very intriguing, especially as a parent; I will check it out. I appreciate you being here!
