“Cause-ID

A prefix for when wants to be/identifies as/etc as something but with a preference or requirement for a specfic cause (or small number of causes).

Can be used both for those that are trans-id and cis-id people who want a different cause. The cause does not have to be something that is actually possible.

The specfic cause in question can be placed in between the cause prefix and identity.

Some examples:

• Someone who wants to become an amputee spefically because of a car accident could identify as Cause-Car-Accident-Amputee
• Someone who identifies as being born with epilepsy could identify as Cause-Birth-Epilepsey
• Someone who wants to be magically transformed into a cat could identify as Cause-Magic-Cat
• Someone with Cis-PTSD caused by abuse who would prefer their PTSD be caused by war could be Cause-War-PTSD
• Someone who wants their right hand amputated due to radiation damage could be Cause-Radiation-RH-Amputee (this one is my identity)
• A Cis-autistic person who wants their autism to be caused by vaccines could be Cause-Vaccine-Autistic. (This one is also me) (note: again, the cause in question does not have to be possible IRL)”
