Here's some examples of why I call myself a walking contradiction...

• I am fiercely loyal to those I consider my friends, but I frequently side with those who I consider my enemies if I feel they are in the right.
• I hold morality to be determined by the consequences, but there are numerous lines I will not personally cross.
• I am usually very willing to lie, cheat, manipulate, and sacrifice most people in my life when it stands to benefit me, but I am loyal, loving, and destructively self-sacrificial when it comes to my friends, family, and lovers.
• I present male and have no problem using certain male-centric language for myself, but I identify as non-binary and am vehemently disconnected from masculinity.
• I am LGBT by definition (because I'm pan and NB), but find myself far more comfortable and accepted among straight people and non-allies the majority of the time.
• I have an incredibly strong aptitude for working with rules, diplomacy, and processes...but I frequently abandon these when it stands to benefit me to go outside "the system".
