The vast majority of the time the idea of "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces" are blown out of proportion. It's being used for things that have nothing to do with trauma but because of something a person simply doesn't like. Heck, those I personally know who HAVE been in a traumatic event think the use of these terms is stupid and takes away from those with real problems.
When the "trauma" consists of things like hearing positions that run counter to their own, exposure to notions that they find "uncomfortable", etc. ... you bet!
...or so they've been taught it seems. Far better to run and hide in such cases instead of staying and asking challenging questions of such speakers. Exercising critical thinking skills are just too much for many 18-22 year-olds, it appears. These folks will definitely be well equipped to handle the real world once they move outside the cloistered ivory tower in which they've spent five years.
