Paradox queer - aka, I made a flag for when your queer identity makes no sense
Specifically, it's for when the history or timeline of your identity is nonsensical, contradictory, paradoxical or otherwise impossible. The way you conceptualize your identity journey doesn't make sense, but it's the only way that feels right.
Examples:
a trans man who, simultaneously, has always been a man, and used to be a girl before puberty.
A genderfluid person whose gender started changing after they learned about trans people, but who has memories of being genderfluid from before that moment.
Both of these examples are about gender because it's what I had in mind when I made the flag, but it can be used for any queer identity!
Under the cut is my own experience!
I'm non-binary, specifically gender neutral. I've always been non-binary, and I've never been a girl. I remember being a child and showing signs of being trans. I started having dysphoria when I hit puberty.
I also used to be a girl. When I started experimenting with gender I always gravitated towards girl related genders. I was confident in telling people I was a girl and I used she/her pronouns.
As I kid, I was also genderless, because I didn't really understand gender.
I had a phase of genuinely being a cis girl, during which I was also an egg, and after that I went back to identifying with female aligned genders. My gender slowly morphed into being a non-binary woman, and then into being just non-binary, which ended up as the neutral non-binary gender I have now.
So basically. I thought about this too hard and made a flag about it.
