#SAAM2020 Pro-Tip: Rape is still rape, whether a judge, jury, prosecutor, or police officer signed off on it. Reality exists independent of the legal system, which fails more often than not with regard to sexual violence. Lack of a conviction does not mean there was no crime.
Insisting that survivors conform their terminology to match antiquated legal definitions is a form of silencing. You are enabling perpetrators. STOP.
