Something I have wondered about from time to time is how being adopted could have shaped me. Largely, I have been concerned that that may have led me to be less attached to family, and thus more likely - or more willing or more willing to do so to greater extent - to focus on world events and caring for humanity in the larger, more generic sense than restricting my caring to only those I could see and/or interact with.
In a sense, did being adopted - and in particular, being adopted out of my First Peoples culture - mean I was more likely to the Pagan version of a nun.
And the answer is no.
If anything, being autistic would more likely be a factor, but coming across Buddhism as a teenager was probably the most significant factor in my life, and that would likely have happened whether I was adopted or not.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our MÓ•gan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
