For Grassmann-odd spinors in two dimensions with ψˉ​=ψTC, CT=−C and (γμ)TC=−Cγμ, moving components past each other gives χˉ​ϵ=ϵˉχ and χˉ​γμγνϵ=ϵˉγνγμχ. The transpose of a two-gamma product reverses its order; the Grassmann sign and the antisymmetry of C cancel. For δψ=Bγμ∂μ​Xϵ, this also gives δψˉ​=−Bϵˉγμ∂μ​X. These identities fix the boundary variation in worldsheet supersymmetry; commuting spinors would not obey the same interchange rule.
