8. With your consent and approval, I might use the word "injured"...

...if ever I'm in a situation where I must speak of you, and specifically about harm done to you.

If speaking of you more generally, I wouldn't want to define you in terms of your injuries at all, and would simply call you a woman.

I hope that's all okay, and I hope it might be the approach for me to take when speaking of other women who have been greatly harmed. If not, then I need to know, and understand better.

Thank you.
