Ik zie het ook in de praktijk: bij @revspace meldden zich in de afgelopen weken meer mensen met positieve tests dan ooit te voren in zo'n korte tijd.

A quote from The Feminist Killjoy Handbook on trigger/content warnings that is spot on.

"In fact, trigger warnings are better understood as techniques that can enable some people to remain in the room in order to have difficult conversations about distressing material.
