Being “politically correct,” at least if it is by your own choice rather than forced, is just trying not to offend people for no reason. Aka being a decent human being. “Safe spaces” and “Trigger words,” were first coined to protect troops with PTSD, so if you mock those ideas you are mocking the troops. If you call someone an SJW you are pretty much saying how proud you are to be a jerk who hurts people for no reason (“Defending free speech” by being an asshole isn’t an actual reason).
I’ve had more than one occasion when I point out that telling someone to avoid my trigger points for my own PTSD is not to protect me, but rather to protect them. I’ll survive reliving being in fear for my life, but given the fact that that time and every time I flashback I’m determined that if I am going to almost die I will take as many opponents with me as I can. In short, I’m not asking you to protect me, I’m trying to protect you.
Likewise, I have PTSD from so many sources that I never know what’s going to trigger me next, or what my reaction will be, but I do know one way to reliably get a violent response is to sneak up on my bicycle and rev your engine real close, especially on my right. Last person to do that lost their driver side mirror to my fist and I wasn’t even trying to do anything that was just my startle reflex.
