contradictory label

LGBTQ+ (usually) labels that seem to contradict each other, used simultaneously.

A few examples: straight gay, lesboy, turigirl, afab trans woman, etc.

These identities don't have to make sense to you, as labels are meant to reflect one's own perception of themselves. Plus, language and culture are constantly evolving.

Remember: diminishing other queer people for having atypical experiences is ultimately unhelpful in our acceptance.

Sometimes, these labels are used to better describe someone's experiences with gender and sexuality — for example, an intersex AFAB woman may still identify as transgender because they feel it best describes them.
person 1: i identify as straight and gay.
person 2: i don't fully understand contradictory labels, but i respect you because you know yourself best
person 1: thanks! i'm dating your mom and dad btw
person 2: what the fuck

Contradictorian

Someone who always finds a way to push back against suggestions.
"I suggested pizza for dinner, and of course, Jake—being the resident contradictorian—insisted he suddenly hates pizza."
"No matter what I propose, Sarah always has to take the opposite stance. She's such a contradictorian."
"Trying to plan a group trip with a contradictorian is impossible—they’ll shoot down every idea just to make things difficult."
"Dave isn’t just opinionated; he’s a full-on contradictorian. If I say the sky is blue, he’ll argue it’s ‘more of a cerulean-gray’ just to be difficult."
"I swear, my boss is a professional contradictorian. If I say we should speed up the process, he’ll tell me to slow down. If I suggest slowing down, suddenly efficiency is key."

Contradictory

Literally every, fucking definition on this site.
You: Bloody hell, that definition on Apple said child labour but when you clicked on the word it said it, was, good. The definition painted child labour in a bad way but the first said it in a good way. That’s contradictory.
