I am empathizing with the heat...here in Upstate NY it's ridiculous right now. And yeah, we have central air, but it doesn't do much for the top floor (which is where the bedrooms are, of course). We've been camping out on the first floor.
Mostly, I think the "triggery" folk are desperately trying to control their lives, when all our lives are, genuinely, all but completely beyond our control.
OMFG, yes. This. And where I have a genuine problem is when that attempt to control gets all over everyone else's rights of expression. Don't tell me what I can and cannot post because *you* have a reaction to it. That's their issue, not mine.
And you're absolutely right, that if it was a true "trigger", it would be unpredictable and not even necessarily related to the original incident. But try explaining that to the sort of drama queens that would use a word such as "triggery"...there are far better ways to spend an entire evening.
