Traumalthugenic

undefined: Traumalthugenic describes a system that originated from, or is connected to, a trauma-based nonhuman (TBNH) identity. It may refer to a system whose sysmates are the nonhuman identity, a system that forms sysmates from their nonhuman identity, an individual's nonhuman identity gains autonomy and becomes a sysmate, a system that mostly/only forms nonhumans (even if not all of them are of the same species) due to feeling a disconnect from humanity, a system 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 system's origin itself is traumagenic. An individual may identify as TBNH before becoming plural. Even if the system is traumagenic, the trauma that caused the nonhuman identity may not be the same trauma that caused the system.

An example of a traumalthugenic system 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 system. Alternatively, the system may exist first, and then forms a large number of dog sysmates/all sysmates become dogs when the system later becomes TBNH.

This term is intended to describe systems, with separate traumalthu- terms coined to describe sisasystems and sysmates, but it can be used for all of them if a system wants to use it in this way.

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.

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.
