[ID: Two flags, the first one is a flag of varying green shades with each color going across in 7 horizontal lines. Theres a small gradient from a very pale green to a medium green, with a deep green stripe in the center. the final 3 stripes are a gradient from darker green back to a medium green, and the second is identical except for a glass-shattered symbol with pitch blackness behind it in the center.]
(Thanks @moonruuns for helping ID the flag!)
My friend @nnugatoryextravagance wanted a more readable version of the Laesumianromantic flag, so I delivered! I made a version with and without the symbol.
Via the Aromantics Wiki:

This is for someone who feels their romantic attraction is 'damaged' due to past trauma, said person may still feel romantic 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.
This term should only be used by trauma survivors and those with PTSD. The sexual counterpart of this flag is Laesumian.
[ID: A banner with a black background and smiley faces on either side. In blue bubble-shaped text, it reads "Read my description before interacting". End ID]
Laesumian is someone who feels like their sexual attraction has been damaged due to past trauma. It’s possible for them to still feel sexual attraction, but it feels off. Like it’s been shattered or broken.
Exclusive to trauma survivors and people with PTSD.
