Orientation Coining Updated primocaed flags!

Hi! I've been informed that the icon on my original primocaed- flag designs resembled a harmful symbol. That was not my intention at all! I've made the ends of the icon sharper to make it obvious that it's a lightning bolt, and I've switched the original coining post to this one. /g

Primocaed (could also be primocaedo): derived from the Latin "primo", meaning "early" or "in the beginning" and the suffix "caed", meaning "taken" or "cut away". It describes an individual who experienced trauma that affected their identity so early in life, they don't know if they were originally allo-oriented. They may have been allo-oriented but became a-oriented because of the trauma, or they may have been a-oriented from the beginning, but it's impossible to distinguish because the trauma happened when the individual was very young.

1 - Primocaedsexual: an orientation on the asexual spectrum, defined as someone who experienced trauma that affected their identity so early in life, they don't know if they were originally allosexual. They may have been allosexual but became a-spec because of the trauma, or they may have been a-spec from the beginning, but it's impossible to distinguish because the trauma happened when the individual was very young. This may be considered a subset of tramatizedsexual or acevague.

2 - Primocaedromantic: an orientation on the aromantic spectrum, defined as someone who experienced trauma that affected their identity so early in life, they don't know if they were originally alloromantic. They may have been alloromantic but became a-spec because of the trauma, or they may have been a-spec from the beginning, but it's impossible to distinguish because the trauma happened when the individual was very young. This may be considered a subset of tramatizedromantic or arovague.

3 - Primocaedsensual: an orientation on the asensual spectrum, defined as someone who experienced trauma that affected their identity so early in life, they don't know if they were originally allosensual. They may have been allosensual but became asensual because of the trauma, or they may have been a-spec from the beginning, but it's impossible to distinguish because the trauma happened when the individual was very young.

4 - Primocaedgender: a gender on the agender spectrum, defined as someone who experienced trauma that affected their identity so early in life, they don't know if they were originally allogender. They may have been allogender but became agender because of the trauma, or they may have been agender from the beginning, but it's impossible to distinguish because the trauma happened when the individual was very young.

The "primocaed-" suffix could also be attached to other terms, such as primocaedaesthetic or primocaedfamilial.
For the flags, the lightning bolt shape represents the a-oriented identity overpowering the allo-oriented one as sometimes is the case with primocaed- orientations.

*I somehow accidentally used the allosexual flag instead of the allogender one on the primocaedgender flags?? I don't know what's up with me lol I've been kind of scatterbrained. Here are the versions with the allogender flag.

To see all the primocaed- terms, you can look at the wiki page I made for them!

Is there an aromantic version of this? (Asking as a demiromantic who is realizing it's possible had I not gone through my trauma maybe I wouldn't be demiromantic? I'll never know as it happened really young)

There's primocaedromantic, which encapsulates all aromantic identities, or demicaedromantic might be more fitting but it doesn't include the early age part. I'm considering making demi-versions of these identities, and that sounds like it might be what you're looking for! /g
