I agree. I have a major food allergy and people don’t take it seriously and have become very sick from food people made me and thought it was no big deal when it is, in fact, a very big deal.
It is also a very big deal when someone is drugged without their consent with any kind of drug, recreational or not. It is a violation of their body, mind and autonomy.
I’m also a survivor of sexual assault. Being drugged without your consent is NOT the same thing as being raped. The word rape should not be used in this context and not using it in this context doesn’t mean it’s not serious or traumatic. There is other language to use to describe this type of act, and rape is not it.
