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.

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.
