<< and intransitive (Mary was FUCKED by John). >>

This is not intransitive. This is passive voice. It's still a transitive verb 
(transitive means it takes a direct object; in this case, Mary).

Intransitive is "Mary fucked." Or "Mary fucked up" (up being part of the verb 
"to fuck up" and not an adverbial complement modifying "fuck" by explaining 
in which direction she fucked).

Thus endeth the grammar lesson.
