Hey all. I find these terms to be incredibly useful, but I was thinking they could be further expanded to encompass more than just being triggered. So, here are my proposed ‘expanded’ definitions of the terms. They’re meant to be less specific yet still keep in mind the terms original definition and not drastically change it.
Destresexual: When your ability to experience sexual attraction is somehow affected by trauma and/or feelings caused by said trauma.
Destreromantic: When your ability to experience romantic attraction is somehow affected by trauma and/or feelings caused by said trauma.
Flag credit goes to @wulfgangs, you can see their original post alongside the original definition of these terms (as well as the coiners) here. This link also includes the image ID for the flags.
