Crossword Genius

Cross face of triggered girl (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bridget

'girl' is the definition.

'cross face of triggered' is the wordplay.
'cross' becomes 'bridge' (bridging is a kind of crossing).
'face of' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'triggered' is 't'.
'bridge'+'t'='BRIDGET'

(Other definitions for bridget that I've seen before include "Girl" , "Miss Jones the diarist" , "Saint" , "Saintly woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
