Traumatizedromantic

Traumatizedromantic is a romantic orientation label for those who feel that their romantic orientation has been significantly influenced by their trauma. It was created as a broad umbrella term to include any change to one's romantic orientation that was caused by trauma. As such, this label is to be used only by individuals with trauma and/or PTSD.

Traumatizedromantics can be of any sexual orientation, romantic orientation, or gender identity. They can be alloromantic or anywhere on the aromantic spectrum.

This term is not meant to be used as a stand-alone identity, but rather together with other labels.

The sexual orientation counterpart is traumatizedsexual.

Meaning
Dark Blue (outermost stripes): Individuals with PTSD and C-PTSD

Green Stripes: Romantic orientation

Interior Rainbow Stripes: These stripes are an edited version of the LGBT+ flag. Their inclusion is meant to represent the LGBTQ+ identity of the flag's intended users.

Triangular Symbol: This symbol is a slightly altered version of uppercase delta(Δ). In mathematics, the uppercase delta symbol is often used to show change in a changeable variable. Likewise, the version in this flag represents the change that a user's romantic orientation underwent after developing trauma.
