'''Cishet''', ''' |
'''Cishet''', '''Cishetallo''', '''Pericishet''', or '''Monocishet''' is a term used by [[LGBT+|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]], [[Straight|heterosexual]], [[Heteromantic|heteroromantic]], [[allosexual]], [[alloromantic]], and [[Monogamous|monogomous]]. 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 LGBT+ community by virtue of sexuality or gender. |

[[Exclusionists]] have often used the term cishet to try to erase [[a-spec]] people (particularly heteroromantic [[Asexual|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 heteroromantics and/or aromantic heterosexual (and sometimes a-spec people in general). |

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

There is debate over whether or not those under the [[polyamorous]] spectrum are inherently LGBTQ+. Those who consider polyam-spec individuals to be inherently LGBTQ+ may use the term monoallocishet to refer to all non-LGBTQ+ individuals. The 'mono' stands for monoamorous or [[monogamous]], which is the act, capacity, desire, or preference of having only one partner. Sometimes 'mono' specifies the individual is [[monosexual]] and [[monoromantic]], meaning they are attracted to only one gender, in this case because they are certainly not [[heteroflexible]] or [[multisexual]]. |
|||
Some use the term "pericishet" (perisex cishet) 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. |
