Does something like the opposite of Caedsexual exist? Like someone previously ace becoming allo/demi/gray/a different orientation on the Allo/ace spectrum? Or is that part of Abrosexuality?
Caedsexual is describing the flavor of ace being caused by trauma, not from a change in sexuality (abrosexual is relatively frequent changes, aceflux is the asexual spectrum-contained equivalent). It's a description of the result more than the process.
Abrosexuality is regular/frequent changes in sexuality ranging all over the place (aceflux is the asexual spectrim-confined equivalent of it) but it can include being asexual sometimes. It's like the sexual attraction equivalent of genderfluid?
The only thing I can think of that would be the opposite of caedsexual would be hypersexual, but that's a description of behavior and libido, not attraction. It's also important to note that hypersexual asexuals 100% exist.
To be entirely honest, I don't know if it's possible to be traumatized into finding people sexually attractive, and I can't find anything of the sort, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. The brain is...interesting, to say the least.
Changes in sexuality can happen to anyone. If you were previously ace but not anymore and are regularly experiencing sexual attraction without knowing the person well first, then it sounds like you'd probably be allo/whatever term you best identify with now.

i am very tired of seeing this so yes, fuck you, i am omni AND aroace. i am hypersexual AND asexual. people can have contradictory labels because the labels are theirs to define if they feel comfortable within them. i am so fucking tired of this shit. trans people don't have to transition to be trans. nb people don't have to be androgenous. people don't have to use pronouns aligning with their gender. she can be a man. he can be a girl. fuck it THEY can be a man and THEY can be a girl. HE can be nonbinary, it doesn't fucking matter, its none of your fucking business. just shut the fuck up and stop arguing over labels altogether, there are bigger fucking issues. good fucking god.

Caedsexual vs Asexual and why they aren’t interchangeable
@booksandteaonarainydayislife, you had asked “In real life, is it not possible for people to be ace due to trauma? Like, would someone who experienced a traumatic event that made it impossible for them to feel sexual attraction not be considered ace?”
This isn’t a clear yes and no answer, which is why I had to make a new post about it. Also, I would like to say that I had been recently education on this new term I am going to explain from the replies from this post (x), I am no way an expert on this, someone asked for my opinion, and here it is, so if anyone who is more experienced/has this sexuality wants to add on, please do so kindly.
I learned that there is a term called “Caedsexual”, which is described as “ is a micro label on the asexual spectrum which describes an individual who identified as allosexual—or not a part of the asexual spectrum—at one point in their lives, but are now on the asexual spectrum due to past trauma. This label should only be used by those who are survivors of these past experience.” I am not sure how recent this term is, but as there is a term for it, people should start using this if this is what they mean when they headcanon a character as “asexual”, when really they mean caedsexual.
Caedsexual is part of the ace spectrum, but it would still be considered incorrect to refer to someone who identifies as this as simply asexual, in my opinion, because not every asexual person is such because of trauma. For example, I am demisexual, I would say I am on the ace-spectrum, but I am not asexual. As I had talked in the post I linked above, the problem with identifying certain characters as asexual and say that it’s due to trauma is because so often, having experienced it myself, is that have a hard time believing those on the ace-spectrum that we are this way not because of trauma. Many people who are on the ace-spectrum suffer prejudice because people will assume that they are ace because of trauma and will try to convince the aces that they need therapy, that maybe they just need to find the right person and they’ll no longer be ace. Some allo-sexual people feel that somehow there ace-spectrum people are “broken” and need “fixing”, which is not true, but when you get people who misidentify certain characters or people as asexual because of trauma and it fuels the myth that we somehow need to be fixed in order to be “proper humans”, because the notion that sex/romance are not necessary for a happy life is crazy to them. Some people are ace the same way some people are gay, they just are, and people should respect that.
So, if you want to say that Kaz and/or Inej, or any other character in fact, identify as being caedsexual because of trauma, that would be correct, but saying that a character is asexual because of trauma is incorrect and helps to fuel the harmful notion that everyone who falls under the ace-spectrum is there because of trauma. They are not interchangeable and I don’t think people should say someone is asexual when they mean caedsexual. I hope that makes sense, and like I said, I am not a huge expert on caedseuxality, but this is from the observations and thoughts on this whole thing.

ACESCALIBUR: A Discord Server for those on the Asexual Spectrum!!
Tumblr media
HEY HEY! inspired by my dear friend @xenodogz​, i’ve made a discord server for acespec people! my whole slideshow + a transcript below the cut, plus a link to join if you so desire :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
also here’s the link for The Aro Garden! i cite it in the transcript, but in case you don’t read that far, you can have it here :)
you made it this far? good for you! i’m assuming you read all I had to say, so if you did, here’s the link! thanks for stopping by!
ID below!
ID Image 3 - Still just text. The title is “Basic Requirements:”. The bulleted list goes as follows. “Must be on the asexual spectrum (or questioning if you are). / Must be 15+! All channels are PG-16, with the exception of locked 18+ channels (where you HAVE to be 18+). / No bigots, TERFs, SWERFs, proshippers, or exclusionists. Discourse is forbidden here.” At the bottom in smaller text, “Be kind and respectful and you’ll do just fine :)”
[ID Image 1 - On a magenta, textured background, the Acescalibur mascot Artie (an anthro maroon dragon in a muted palette of the asexual flag, wearing a cape of a purple to white gradient held up by a black heart and gray diamond clip) spreads open her arms to point at the title/subtitles. It reads, “Introducing... Acescalibur, a Discord server for those on the asexual spectrum!”
ID Image 2 - No Artie this time, just text. The title, underlined, reads “So... what’s your deal?” Below it, the text continues. “I have... a lot of spare time. My friend @xenodogz​ made this great server for aromantic people called The Aro Garden! I’m acespec myself, and since I wanted a space specifically for asexual people, I went ahead and spent… a month, give or take, working on a server where people on the asexual spectrum/those who are questioning can feel at home!”
ID Image 4 - Artie is in the corner of this slide. He is in profile view, clapping excitedly as they look up at the text listed. The title reads “Features!” The list below it says: “A comprehensive rule list and blacklist / Roles for ace labels and microlabels, color roles, ping/friend request friendly/hostile, timezones, pronouns and more! / Toggleable channel categories via role (fandom-specific, asexual spectrum, systems, venting, and bot usage) / A NSFW channel category for adults (again, must be 18+!) / Two (for now!) friendly mods <3″
ID Image 5 - The title reads “SO MANY CHANNELS”, all caps. This slide has 6 screenshots of the discord channels. The first, “Moderation”, has “Announcements, Welcome, Rules, Intro, Blacklist, Directory, Role-Selection, Resources, Suggestion-Box, and Promo”. The second, “General”, has “Gen-1, Gen-2, Gen-3, System-Chat, Good-Vibes, Infodump, Funnies, Jams, Pets-And-Pics, and Starboard”. The third, “Art Alley”, has “Art, Fanart, Doodles, WIPs, Writing, References, OCs-1, OCs-2, AUs-1, and AUs-2.” The fourth, “Entertainment”, has “QOTD, Gaming, Reading-Cubby, Film-Corner, Misc-Media-1,  Misc-Media-2, Spoilers-1, and Spoilers-2. The fifth, “Fandom-Space”, has “Valve-General, Half-Life-And-Adjacent, Psychonauts, Legend-Of-Zelda, Pokémon, and Podcast-Pit.” The sixth, “Mental Health”, has “Venting-Rules, Shout-Jar, Gen-Vent, and Validation-Please.”
ID Image 6 - Same title as the last slide. This one has 4 screenshots of discord channels. The first, “The Ace Spectrum”, has “Role-Selection, Glossary, Gen-Aspec-Discussion, Microlabels, Sex-Repulsed, Sex-Ambivalent, Sex-Favorable, Queerplatonic, and Aspec-NSFW (with the symbol of it being an 18+ channel).” The second “NSFW” (with every channel with the 18+ symbol), has “Gen-1-NSFW, Gen-2-NSFW, NSFW-Art, NSFW-WIPs, NSFW-Writing, and Misc-NSFW-Media.” The third, “Bots”, has “Pluralkit, Music-Stats, Toddbot-Teasing, and Gen-Bot-Usage.” The fourth, “Voice and Video”, has “VC-Chat, Music-Only-Chat, and Music-Bot” with two voice channels labeled “VC and Music Only”. In the corner of this image, a paragraph of text reads: “I promise it’s not that bad once you can enable and disable some channels. As for the fandom category, I’ll be glad to add MORE. Go nuts. I don’t know what people like these days.” The bottom of this slide has the four card symbols (the heart, spade, diamond, and club) in white to pad empty space.
ID Image 7 - Just text on this slide. The title of this slide is “How do I join?” Below it, it reads: “Easily enough! / Instagram: Check my bio for a link! It’s either there or in my Carrd. / Tumblr: Linked in the post! / Expired link: Message me on Discord! My username is @mossydecay. I’m almost always online. I’ll get you a link in a jiffy.” The same card symbols are at the bottom of this slide too.
ID Image 8 - The title of this slide, the only text in the image, is “Hope to see you there!” Below it is a drawing of Artie and Aurora, the Aro Garden mascot. Artie is waving with a cheeky grin and his tongue poking out, kneeling with her tail looping around her legs. They are holding hands with Aurora, who is an anthro bee in the colors of the aromantic flag. She has her eyes shut in a happy expression, one of her four arms on Artie’s back, another (on the opposite side) waving, and the fourth balled lightly near her face as if abashed. Aurora is sitting with her knees up to her chest. /End ID.]

Laesumian is a term on the asexual spectrum, and a form of caedsexual. For someone who feels their sexual attraction is 'damaged' due to past trauma, said person may still feel sexual attraction to some extent, or not at all, but if so it usually feels off. This does not imply survivors are damaged in any way, just some may feel that has happened to their attraction.
Term created: October 2022 Flag created: August 2023
Flag colors from top to bottom: light lavender, dark grey purple, dark purple, dark purple almost black

Currently questioning if am aroace or just aro considering I have previous SA trauma. It’s so hard to figure out whether or not it’s a natural thing or a response :((
if you wanted a specific label for that, caedsexual is a label for when you’re ace due to trauma, but i wish you luck in finding what fits!

Here’s some positivity for those on the caed- romantic, sexual, or gender spectrum!
The caed- prefix refers to one’s identity (romantic, sexual, gender, or something else) which has been damaged, stripped, or cut away due to past trauma. These folks may have identified with other genders, sexualities, or romantic orientations before going through a traumatic event, but due to trauma their identities have been compromised or changed in major ways. This post is for all those who are on the caed- spectrum, regardless of how that manifests for them!
🌲 Shoutout to those whose genders, sexualities, and romantic orientations feel lost, empty, lifeless, or numb!
🌤 Shoutout to systems whose caed- identities have caused them to feel or identify as queer or become part of the queer community!
🌈 Shoutout to traumagenic systems whose trauma histories influenced both their system formation and their caed- identities!
🌲 Shoutout to individual headmates who are caedsexual, caedromantic, or caedgender even if the rest of their system isn’t!
🌤 Shoutout to systems who used to have rich, fulfilling, and intricate relationships with their gender, sexuality, or romantic orientation, but don’t anymore due to trauma!
🌈 Shoutout to systems who are caedgenic, or consider their origins a xeno origin aligned with the caed- prefix!
🌲 Shoutout to systems whose genders, sexualities, and romantic orientations are tangled up with trauma responses, negative flashbacks, and potentially harmful coping mechanisms!
🌤 Shoutout to systems who remember and miss their lives before trauma interfered and caused them to identify with a caed- label!
🌈 Shoutout to systems who are embracing their lifestyles and their labels of choice, even if their identities stem from trauma!
🌲 Shoutout to systems whose plurality was already developed when they were traumatized and ultimately adopted a caed- label!
🌤 Shoutout to systems who are questioning a caed- label for themselves or their system!
Remember that the spectrums of gender, sexuality, and romantic orientation are vast, and each individual label serves an important purpose for those who identify with them! For those who find themselves identifying with a caed- label, we truly hope that you can find peace, healing, comfort, and recovery in your future!
Know that we really are wishing you the very best. If you are taking steps to recover from your trauma, we wish you a smooth process that is as painless as it can be. If you’re trying to live with your trauma and make peace with it, we genuinely hope that you will be able to achieve this one day. Please do your best to take care of yourself and your system! And if possible, try to have a lovely day!
