With respect, just because you were not traumatized by a particular type of event, does not mean that someone else wasn’t traumatized by the same kind of event.

With respect, just because you were not traumatized by a particular type of event, does not mean that someone else wasn’t traumatized by the same kind of event.
And your lack of trauma over a type of event does not give you carte blanche to trivialize the emotions and expressions of someone that was.

Of course. But the individual personal experience of something should not be sacred from criticism, especially when it moves from personal to a more public accusation or demand. In other words: some people might feel (or claim they feel) traumatised over whatever. We shouldn't as a society always take their claims at face value and accept their subjective impact as necessary valid -- just because a subject called it so. Emotions can be bogus too.
