'''Cishet''', '''Cishetallo''', '''Pericishet''', '''Periallocishet''', '''Monocishet''', '''Monoallocishet''', '''Perimonocishet''', or '''Perimonoallocishet''' 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]], [[suptilic]] [[allosexual]], suptilic [[alloromantic]], [[monogamous]], [[dyadic]], [[perioriented]], and exclusively one of the two [[Binary Genders|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]] 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).

They will also sometimes use it and similar terms to try to erase varioriented, intersex, polyamorous, non-suptilic allospec, cis nonbinary, and detragender people.

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 LGBTQ+ community by virtue of being intersex, even without orientation or gender.
