“Schrödinger’s Identity / Identidox

Definition: A label that describes being simultaneously a thing and not that thing. There are MANY ways to interpret this identity and there is no One True Way to identify with this label. Experiences can include, but aren’t limited to:

• Your identity being related to both existence and non-existence, similarly to Schrödinger’s Cat.
• Your identity being related to two opposing concepts (i.e. life and death, angels and demons, day and night, etc.)
• Your identity existing as two different states of being because you are actively choosing to not “open the box” and figure it out yourself, so you live in that quantum confusion.

This can be used as a vesil label, a gender label, an orientation label, anything! Hell, use it as a system term if it fits. This concept is merely to put into words the idea of your identity being two (or more) opposing sides of a concept, which can make figuring yourself out confusing as shit.

Many subterms will be made under this one, which will be under what I’m calling the Schrödinger’s Label System.

This concept stemmed from a lighthearted conversation that was had in a shared Discord server and was originally suggested by @elliott-mogai​ as ‘Schrödinger’s Lesbian,’ or when you’re simultaneously a lesbian and not a lesbian.
