This flag is for the touch stance known as touch-repulsed. It is for individual who are repulsed by the act or concept of sensual interaction.

Touch-repulsed individuals may find sensual activity undesirable, uninteresting, uncomfortable, or generally unwanted. Some touch-repulsed individuals may be repulsed by the idea of personally engaging in sensual activity while feeling favorable or indifferent towards sensual interaction that does not involve them. The term is commonly used by asensual, aromantic, and asexual spectrum individuals but is not exclusive to these communities. If you know anyone who is touch-repulsed, the kindest thing you can do for them is to respect their wishes by not touching them.

You explained this well.
I am the type of autistic with overly strong sensory input, so I'm definitely touch repulsed. Being touched hurts.

Thank you. :)
One of my cousins is autistic and touch-repulsed too. It took quite a while for the older family members to respect that and to stop trying to hug him but thankfully, they respect his touch boundaries now.
