I had never heard the phrase "trigger warning" before today. I looked it up and recognize it. On television, the warning about "graphic situation and content" before "Law and Order" is a warning for parents to decide if they want their kids to look at the show. I can also understand how a rape victim might be traumatized by watching a show with a graphic rape scene. Those triggers are real! For example, I have had an extremely painful dislocated shoulder accident. I cannot comfortably see a person in a tv or movie situation who has a dislocated shoulder. I can only imagine what the feeling would be for a victim of a sexual assault seeing that on television.

I also looked up micro-aggressions. I did not think before how those could actually be hurtful to others. I am going to try and be more careful in what I say.
