And I really doubt most people who use to fuck in English or ficken in German /really/ see it as both, more like, it mainly means having sex, and then soooomehow it is also used for destroying, oops, what a coincidence.

Liiiike the thing is that apparently if you trace the word to proto-indoeuropean, it's from something that meant to strike and stuff… I guess it's kinda gross that it's a sex word now, and it's been both a hurt and a sex word for basically forever, but idk language changes and it's good to have sex words and there are other words for hurting someone.

I really want to get better at not using rape metaphors.

"fuck the cops", "fuck capitalism", fuck patriarchy"? No. The moment we use a sex verb to mean destroy, hurt, overthrow or anything like that, it is really about rape.

And it's definitely not usually the cops who are hurt by that.

when TERFs call trans women men, or male-bodied, or TIMs, etc., they are saying this in order to deny transphobia, to deny the specific oppression trans women face for not being men.

this is also true of when antisemites call certain Jews "white Europeans." it's denying the the entire long history of Jews being violently forced out of Palestine to live as outsiders in Europe and elsewhere, to equate us with the people under whom we were (and are) essentially hostages.
