When the patriarchy shoots itself in the foot.

It's freezing in Texas and people are reasonably worried they'll have to spend another week in freezing temperatures without electricity, gas, or services. Ted Cruz is bragging about going to the tropics again.

I'm sorry but this is just a shitty take.
It's not like neurotypical people are not traumatized by the Holocaust. If anything, I hope you get traumatized when you learn about the Holocaust. I hope you get scared, I hope you cry and I hope you'll have learned that this cannot happen again. Only a sociopath or a Nazi wouldn't feel like this learning about it.
You are meant to be scared by some shit. That's the truth. You cannot (and should not) sugarcoat genocide.

So, when I was in highschool, I was the VP of our GSA and I did not get along particularly well with our president. The thing I remember her saying most vividly was "we should not be teaching genocide because it's a triggering topic." I was so stunned by this statement, and I just never brought it up, but I think about it quite a bit.

The idea that "we should not teach something because it's triggering" is RIDICLOUS, but NOT because "those silly snowflakes need their safe spaces."
I think its reasonable to have people step back and take a breather when they are learning about things like genocide. I think it is perfectly reasonable to *prepare* people. And I think it's perfectly reasonable to have emotional support when learning about it.

But it HAS to be taught, and it can NOT be sugarcoated. You HAVE to learn about it in its rawest, truest form. It HAS to be upsetting. It is a triggering topic, but that cannot be an excuse not to learn about history. You have to let yourself feel and work through that anxiety, grief, and sadness. It's not something you can just *avoid.*
