If you talk about rape in front of a rape victim, and say "oh sorry I understand that the word 'rape' is a trigger word for you, but it's real and just part of life so you must accept it," --is that not unconsiderate and offensive?

You answered that question yourself. It is real and a part of life. It's not offensive.

Just like those who are offended with the Trump presidency saying "Trump's not my President!"
Sorry cupcakes, he is.
