Traumatizedsexual is a sexual orientation label for those who feel that their sexual orientation has been significantly influenced by their trauma. It was created as a broad umbrella term to include any change to one's sexual orientation that was caused by trauma. As such, this label is to be used only by individuals with trauma and/or PTSD.
Traumatizedsexuals can be of any sexual orientation, romantic orientation, or gender identity. They can be allosexual or anywhere on the asexual spectrum.
This term is not meant to be used as a stand-alone identity, but rather together with other labels.
The romantic counterpart of this label is traumatizedromantic.
