Trigger Warnings & st*rs:
Please be aware that this practice often makes posts inaccessible to screen readers that some of our visually impaired Plurals use.
RA Survivors, like most DID Survivors have headmates and days on which they can handle triggering topics. But also headmates and days when they can’t handle triggering topics. This is why trigger warnings with an option to click open the post work great for RA Survivors. It gives us back the control, by allowing us to choose to click or not.
Although st*rs or d.ts are definitely not trigger free for everyone, it does seem to help certain RA survivors to bypass programming. Some RA Survivor Systems have taught themselves to not read text that is st*rred if they are not in a safe head space. Please remember that different groups have different rules in place when it comes to the usage of trigger warnings and st*rs.
