Schrodien [SHRO-dee-in] is an othellic term describing an individual who has an identity that contradicts or appears to contradict itself at one or more points. This could be for many reasons, such as collecting terms and two or more terms contradicting, intentionally calling yourself two conflicting things for the reason of having conflicting identities, having identities that at first glance appear to be contradictory but actually fit together, and having a nuanced identity that doesn’t actually conflict but is incorrectly perceived as conflicting.
Schrodien is at its core about the experience of having a “confusing” identity that the user or others perceive as contradictory, whether it is or not.
Here are examples of identities that may fall under schrodien:
lesboys
isogender
traumaendo systems
systems who have conflicting identities due to being present in different headmates
an agender person who also collects genders
an alloaro person who is incorrectly perceived as either alloromantic or asexual
