This was good to read. Iv always been against trigger warnings, primarily for reasons mentioned about resilience, toughness, the increased ability to handle tough situations in real time. But listing college course content is a fair thing to pre-warn about. I don’t see the bad in that.

The term trigger warning is a little much. You don’t need to say trigger warning when you are naming what the triggers will be. “This podcast will discuss rape, please use discretion”. I think some books should mention this on the inside cover because holy crap I didnt know what I was in for in the Handmaids Tale.
