I think that the worst part about the article is its title. It kind of seems like the title is race baiting a little bit, and the editors should have considered that a little more before settling on it. However, I thought the writing itself was pretty well considered, and highlights ways in which greater sensitivity has made us stronger and weaker in different ways. I also think it's hilarious that there are so many anxiety animals in CA that they have to remind people that it's illegal. I know two women in CA who have had their pets designated as legal helpers, which mainly allows them to take them on flights for free.
