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

contracord/contracorded

Contracord is defined as the phenomena, notion, concept, or/and item whereby one perceives an inability to (simply) explain the difference(s) or relationship(s) (existing) between two or more items, concepts, notions, ideas, and/or phenomena, despite understanding them in isolation from one another and having sufficient/satisfactory (perceivable) distinctiveness in an of themselves.

Unrelated notions result in contracord. Too closely linked notions can result in contracord. Contracord is context sensitive. Contracord is also not context sensitive. Contracord captures a new conceptualisation of linguistic ambiguity and functions as a language model fibre to address communication and/ or conceptual entropy. Contracord is a logic aid, but also a logic dissolver device. Contracord is found in the term, where it is difficult to explain the difference between what contracord means and what it does not mean. It is both flexible and adaptive, paradoxical and logical, conventional and postmodern, a zoom in and an abstraction, a thing in and of itself or that bridges other things. Contracord is a word, but it is even moreso, a framework for building better conceptual abstractions and providing a medium for explication of obscure notions. Contracord helps us understand the subjectivity of language and make the most out of it, by using that subjective backbone in supporting our unique worldviews out in the open.

Contrariance

The feeling and state of subtle, indirect resistance and non-compliance of "I ain't gonna do that", where an individual doesn't openly challenge or confront, but expresses their opposition in a veiled or covert manner.

My feelings of contrariance kicked in and instead of doing my work I went to get pizza.
