My biggest trigger is seeing people not be treated equally. I get incredibly riled up by racism, religious intolerance, homophobia and pretty much any situation where someone is being treated disrespectfully for a difference they have - visible or invisible. I cry all the time when I witness such things and with the present political climate that seems to have made such behaviour permissible on account of a certain Cheeto's own example this happens more and more often. It scares me where we are headed and each time such situations and events arise I am triggered quite badly.

I have had trauma in my life particularly from my time in the Navy. Add continuous harassment to that and I pretty much get triggered by any man who fits the 'bill' by demeanor, physicality, and appearance. I feel threatened, vulnerable, scared of any ulterior motive they might have against me, nausea, and a need to be hyper-vigilant around them on account of my uber-fear they might turn on me.
