Anonymous asked: So, I love this blog. I volunteer as an advocate for people after assault. I stay with them throughout the duration of the kit. Something I have noticed is that sometimes you use the word "victim." These people are survivors. It is important for everyone to know that they did nothing wrong, this was not their fault, they are strong and that they did everything they could to SURVIVE.

Victim is not a bad word and I refuse to treat it like one. If someone has a particular preference then I will use it as per their request, but you don’t get to speak on their behalf because “victim” makes you uncomfortable.
