Talking about gender, sexual orientation, race etc isn’t necessarily “social conflict trauma”, though. That seems a huge elision. They can also be fields of interest, academic research, belonging, even pleasure.

Sure there’s non-conflict sides to those topics, fair enough. Like there’s guns as in gun fights and guns as in competitive Olympic sport for pleasure.
