It's actually a technical term of therapy; those with PTSD are "triggered" by things that remind them of the trauma in question - firecrackers for a veteran, being touched for sex-abuse victims, etc. For the people for whom "triggers" are not a buzzword, there actually <i>is</i> courage involved in standing up to them.<br /><br />Ironically, the abuse of "triggers" is basically "appropriation", which SJWS claim to hate.<br /><br />Of course, trauma isn't the only kind of therapy where "triggers" come up. The circumstances where an alcoholic drinks are <i>his </i> "triggers"; funny how you don't hear people talking about family cookouts as being "triggering", despite there being, I believe, a lot more alcoholics than people with PTSD.
