TERFs will often try to weaponize the pain, trauma, and rage a victim of SA justifiably feel and then point it towards communities they hate. Typically this is trans women, but I've also seen them do it towards POC as well.
On that note, what is the preferred term now for someone who was the target of SA? Victim, survivor, or something else? Legitimate question as I want to make sure I'm expressing solidarity correctly.

If I were raped, I think the gender identity of my rapist would be less of a concern than the fact that, you know, THEY WERE A FUCKING RAPIST.

It's probably personal and anything you say will upset someone tbh.
Personally irl I've heard survivor being liked more.

I would probably avoid comparing these two things, fyi.
