Trumping the Triggered

Ottawa’s Carleton University says it now has scales in both men’s and women’s changing rooms in a bid to compromise with those who were angry when the scale in the main gym was removed earlier this month.

The original campus paper article... described scales as “very triggering” for those with eating disorders and other body image concerns.

The issue gained traction well beyond the Carleton community, with outlets as far afield as the United Kingdom devoting space to the controversy.
