So I have a valid reason to be triggered by any and all of these things because these are things that specifically remind me of my abuser and therefore have the ability to trigger PTSD and anxiety.
And anyone that would mock those triggers as not being serious enough to be valid are just pretending to understand some shit that they very clearly don’t.
Your triggers are valid. Your feelings are valid. Fuck anti-sjws forever.
i remember seeing a gifset of calhoun from wreck it ralph and her “dynamite gal” trigger and there were people in the reblogs like “see, this is how a trigger works. not your stupid made up triggers for like dogs and shit” but like if calhoun was a blogger asking you to tag the phrase “dynamite gal” youd laugh in her face because its such a stupid trivial thing but u kno. because they actually get to see what it was that traumatized her and how that phrase is associated with it on screen but most trauma survivors dont want to recount their entire tragic story every time they try to explain to someone why something is a trigger to them so they just assume that theyre making it up
Keep your gross “girl power” away from me if it involves being unnecessarily mean, shaming girls who like dressing modestly, or making guys feel insecure all the time.

On Wednesday, Merriam-Webster caught up to speed with two words people have been using to describe their gender identity for at least a decade, adding “cisgender” and “genderqueer” to its unabridged dictionary. Among the 1,400 words, you’ve probably seen a few of them across Tumblr for a while now
Update: Apparently these additions were too much for some people.
