You know, I think we're going down a really bad path here.

Triggers are part of life. It's good to be able to learn to live with them instead of proscribing what people can and can't express.

I've had 4 blood clots, including a baseball-sized one in my lung that should have killed me, and one has happened while I was ON anticoagulants. I have two genetic mutations and a host of physical problems that contribute to this problem of mine. A stroke is a constant possibility for me. If it happens, and it doesn't kill me, and it doesn't horribly disable me, I'm going to need to talk about it, and I'm going to do it here, since I have no T. But I'm never supposed to bring it up because it bothers somebody??!

Adding a list of potential triggers would be endless -- there are as many triggers as there are human beings -- and needlessly clog profiles. If something bothers you, you have the option of not reading it! I do it all the time and I highly recommend it.
