For odd Grassmann variables, (χψ)=χαψα is symmetric under exchanging the two spinors: the Grassmann sign cancels the sign of the antisymmetric epsilon contraction. With ϵ12=1, lower components χ=(a,b) and ψ=(c,d) give (χψ)=bc−ad. Commuting numerical spinors instead give an antisymmetric contraction.
