Traumalthudawn

undefined: Traumalthudawn describes a sisasystem that originated from, or is connected to, a trauma-based nonhuman (TBNH) identity. It may refer to a sisasystem whose sisamates are the nonhuman identity, a sisasystem that forms sisamates from their nonhuman identity, an individual's nonhuman identity gains autonomy and becomes a sisamate, a sisasystem that mostly/only forms nonhumans (even if not all of them are of the same species) due to feeling a disconnect from humanity, a sisasystem that collectively identifies as a nonhuman identity due to being heavy in a nonhuman species from trauma, or any other definition that may fit.

This origin does not necessarily mean that the sisasystem's origin itself is traumadawn. An individual may identify as TBNH before becoming plural, or a sysmate may identify as TBNH before forming/joining a sisasystem. Even if the sisasystem is traumadawn, the trauma that caused the nonhuman identity may not be the same trauma that caused the sisasystem.

An example of a traumalthudawn sisasystem may be an individual who finds comfort as a dog TBNH due to being compared to a dog, forced to act like a dog, or had to identify as/with a dog to cope, and later forms a dog-heavy sisasystem. Alternatively, the sisasystem may exist first, and then forms a large number of dog sisamates/all sisamates become dogs when the sisasystem later becomes TBNH.

History
The traumalthu- prefix was coined by "G" of A Shattered Dragon's Spirit on the 18th of February, 2024. It was inspired by his own experiences as TBNH, and how it affects his bondsystem's functions and identity.

The flag's colours were inspired by plushself's TBNH flag, and uses the -dawn template.

TBNH are those who became alterhuman due to trauma. Many individuals with trauma end up distancing from society, and this can go further to distancing from humanity in its entirety. This can cause a disconnect, or a non-human awakening. This term is not to be used by individuals who wish to dehumanise trauma survivors. It is only to be used in a positive manner by the survivors themselves. TBNH can include delusions, 'kin, therians, nonhuman sysmates, etc., that are caused by or connected to trauma.
