The following list will cover the most common a-spec exclusionist beliefs. |

The word ''cishet'' was originally used by trans people to refer to someone who is [[cisgender]], [[Straight|heterosexual]], and heteroromantic. However, it was adopted by a-spec exclusionists as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_whistle_(politics) dogwhistle] referring to members of the [[asexual spectrum]] (ace-spec people). Originally, it was only used that way to mean heteroromantic asexuals or aromantic heterosexuals, but for some a-spec exclusionist it has come to mean [[aroace]] people (aromantic asexuals) or even all a-spec people. Some a-spec exclusionists claim to be accepting of [[transgender]] a-spec people and people who experience same-gender attraction as well as being a-spec, but a-spec exclusionists may also harass a-spec people regardless of their other identities. |
