"I mean, this is what makes covering Donald Trump so very difficult. What does he mean when he says words? Does he mean the words or does he mean something sort of like the words, you know?"
— Zachary Wolf; CNN
I'm sick of people ignoring the established meaning(s) of words and using them as they see fit. Urgh!
Unless you suffer from PTSD or some other stressful trauma-related mental health issue and certain things bring on panic attacks, psychotic breaks or mental breakdowns, you are not triggered by them; you react to them. Getting angry and going on a rant about something that cooks your chicken is not the behaviour of someone who's triggered. It's the behaviour of someone who's having an emotional reaction. Having chest pains, shortness of breath, blurred vision and a fight/flight/freeze/fawn reaction, on the other hand, is what a triggered person experiences. Please, do not conflate getting emotional with mental heath dysfunction. The over-medicalisation of emotion is a serious problem and you're not helping.
If you want to tell me that something that wasn't sexual assault (like having all your money stolen by a scammer, for instance) was rape, I'm going to tell you to get as far out of my life's path as is humanly possible.
Despite what Cuck-Fucker Tarlson, Fox News and qAnon Derp State trolls on Twatter might keep telling you, "homosexual", "paedophile" and "trans*" do not mean the same thing. "Anarchist" does not mean "arsonist", "criminal" or "vandal". All Socialists are Leftists, but not all Leftists are Communists/Socialists.

If you have any doubts, please consult a dictionary. There are a number of them (such as dictionary.com and Merriam-Webster) online, so you have no excuse.
English is a horrendously imprecise and vague language for conveying meaning with any degree of precision, but please don't be That Guy muddying the waters and confusing people if you can help it.
