CisHet flag

Cishet, Cishetallo, Pericishet, Periallocishet, Monocishet, Monoallocishet, Perimonocishet, or Perimonoallocishet is a term used by LGBTQ+ people to easily describe people who are not members of the community in any way, shape or form. This means people who are simultaneously cisgender, heterosexual, heteroromantic, suptilic allosexual, suptilic alloromantic, monogamous, dyadic, perioriented, and exclusively one of the two binary genders. System members must also be afficgender. The term originated within the trans community, particularly among straight trans people, and was created as a way to specify something who is not part of the LGBTQ+ community by virtue of orientation or gender.

Exclusionists[]

Exclusionists have often used the term cishet to try to erase a-spec people (particularly heteroromantic asexuals and aromantic heterosexuals) from the community as they use the term to imply that a-specs aren't inherently LGBT+ by being a-spec. These people will sometimes use "cishet" as a code word for Asexual Heteroromantic and/or Heterosexual Aromantic (and sometimes a-spec people in general).

Variants[]

The term "cishetallo" or "cisallohet" or "allocishet" is sometimes preferable to make it clear that one is not referring to a-specs.

Some use the term "pericishet" (perisex cishet), "periallocishet", or "dycishet" (dyadic cishet) to refer to cishet people who are also perisex/dyadic (not intersex), to show that intersex people have a place in the LGBT+ community by virtue of being intersex, even without orientation or gender.

Those who consider polyamorous individuals to be inherently LGBTQ+ may use the term monocishet, perimonocishet, monoallocishet, or perimonoallocishet. The 'mono' stands for monoamorous or monogamous.
