The "medical trauma" is a mention of female genital mutilation There is a lot of discussion about COVID near the end of the book

As always, I really enjoy Roxane Gay's writing and it was really interesting to hear her takes on what's been going on in the US the past four years and about the aftermath of the release of her memoir, "Hunger." She talks a lot about the class she teaches at Yale and listening to her talk about that made me really want to take the class.
