((((((((((((Purple fins))))))))))))))))))))))
I understand how well that can trigger you, I am highly triggered by certain words and phrases that make me think of obejtification, like the word "plaything" or "toy" on the wrong day in a completly innocent sentence will set me reeling and in a bundle of anxiety for a few hours.
It is hard, the usuage of language and how we use "she" as a referall to objects, that use to cause me a bit of anxiety as well on bad days, I counteracted it by making myself go into logic mode, I explained to myself that I didn't like it, and that it upset me, but it is a structure built into our language, and that even I do it. (I named my car Miss Daisy, and call it a she all the time) and I don't do it to "objectify" but I do it because I have an emotional attachment and it was my way of personficating that attachment and I am more at ease using female pronouns and am more likely to because I am female and it is what I am comfterable with.
phew, sorry that was long, I hope that helped some, I know I have to rationalzie and break things down into logic sometimes in order to help deal with a trigger.
