#caed

What is the Aspec Glossary?

Caed- (sometimes also called caedo-) is a microlabel prefix that indicates that the person in question at one point did experience that type of attraction, but due to past trauma, no longer does. Someone who is caed may feel like their attraction was taken or "cut away" from them by trauma. "Caed-" and "caedo" come from the Latin word "caedere", which means "to cut off".

*Important note: caed identities are meant for survivors of trauma, people with PTSD, etc. There is another, similar microlabel prefix for people who feel they were once allo but no longer are and which is not exclusive to those who have experienced that type of trauma: eras.

Caedromantics (caedoromantics) typically feel they were once alloromantic, but feel that due to trauma, they no longer experience romantic attraction.

Caedsexuals (caedosexuals) typically feel they were once allosexual, but feel that due to trauma, they no longer experience sexual attraction.

Caedroses (caedoroses) or caed aroaces (caedo aroaces) are both caedromantic and caedsexual.

Caedplatonics (caedoplatonics) typically feel they were once alloplatonic, but feel that due to trauma, they no longer experience platonic attraction.

Caedulter and Caedipso

( Image 1 ID: A five striped flag, the colors going as follows from top to bottom, purple, yellow, white, yellow, purple. From the left side, there are blocks on each stripe incrementally increasing in length and becoming lighter gray prior to the center stripe, then decreasing in length and becoming darker gray after the center stripe. End ID. )

( Image 2 ID: A mostly purple flag with a yellow circle with a plus inside of it. There are also blocks on the left side of the flag, incrementally increasing in length and becoming lighter gray prior to the circle, and then decreasing in length and becoming darker gray after the circle. End ID. )

Caedulter: An intersex individual who at one point, was Transgender, but due to trauma ( from their own Intersex experiences, Intersexism within Trans- spaces*, etc. ) is now Ultergender. May also be spelled Caedoulter.

Caedipso: An intersex individual who at one point, was Cisgender, but due to trauma ( from their own Intersex experiences, Intersexism from Perisex Cisgender individuals, etc. ) is now Ipsogender. May also be spelled Caedoipso.

Any other Intersex people may use these if you feel like you connect with them! Similar to other Caed- / Caedo- terms, you do not need to be specific or open about your trauma at all.

These are terms that are roughly based on the other existing Caed- / Caedo- terms but with slightly modified language. They are based off of my personal experiences ( Caedulter) and one of my friend's ( Caedipso ) so please be respectful.

( Perisex people do not be weird, these aren't for you. )

*if you have an issue with the wording here I encourage you to read this addition before jumping to harassing me or others.
