Second, virginity is just a construct to shame people for having sex, and to give an idea about "adulthood." It's a very heterosexist weird idea, since only heterosexual people have "virginities" according to this weird definition, and I'm not sure why we should hold that idea over victims' heads. "You're dirty because you didn't consent to have sex.R" How does that make any sense?

I don't think it was designed to shame people, that's just how our society uses it.
I'm an engineer, so for me if youve never had a penis inside your vagina, or never put your penis inside a vagina you are a virgin, all connotation aside I abide by the dictionary.
