Right, so...I respect the desires of people to have triggering material put behind cuts. It makes sense to me, I think that's fine.

Sometimes though, I have to wonder if people really grasp the whole idea.

Like when someone in a feminist community cut for rape, but didn't mention that there was discussion of lynching behind the cut.

Or just now, when I checked a feminist community, and there was a cut for "self-injury"...but she left a description of SOMEONE ELSE'S self-injury outside the cut. (Her ex-boyfriend, it sounds like. Guess graphic descriptions of SI still aren't triggering to women if their oppressor does it. Or something like that.)


...

People make my head hurt.

No, they don't get it. Hence the games of winky-nudgy about prejudice vs. racism. And even the people who think they get it often saying things that belie that. Gah!
