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.
Explain how that's better than saying, "I understand how horrible and traumatic that was, so I'll avoid bringing up the subject as best I can unless you feel like talking about it."
There's a reason there are specific types of counseling just for rape victims and specific types of counseling for those with severe phobias centered around the idea of hell they were taught.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
