Hi,
First of all, albeit that I can only imagine your trauma, you have my compassion.
As for the 'hijacking' of your term, imho we may be dealing with a tradition of suppression that goes back far before the inquisition.
Pope Franciscus tried to address misconducts in the church and even he was not able to change it. I believe we can and it starts with acceptance and compassion with our fellow beings in their dwellings. They don't know better, but they will, in their time.
