Cishet
Cishet
The term cishet, and its variations, refers to individuals who identify as cisgender and heterosexual, and may also include aspects of their romantic and sexual orientations, such as heteroromantic and suptilic allosexual. These individuals are also typically monogamous and identify as either male or female, falling within the binary gender system.
The term is often used in the LGBTQ+ community to describe individuals who are not part of the community due to their gender and sexual orientation.
The term may also include the additional qualifier of being perioriented, which refers to individuals who are exclusively attracted to people of one gender.

Pronouns
People who identify as cishet (cisgender and heterosexual) typically use pronouns that align with the sex they were assigned at birth and the gender they identify with. For example, a cishet man would typically use he/him/his pronouns, while a cishet woman would typically use she/her/hers pronouns. However, it's important to note that not all cishet people conform to traditional gender roles and expression, and some may use different pronouns as a form of self-expression or to challenge gender norms.

Gender Types
Gender identity is a deeply personal and complex aspect of a person's identity, and it can vary widely from person to person. Some people identify as male, some as female, while others identify as non-binary, genderqueer, or another gender identity.
Gender identity refers to a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. In other words, it is a person's subjective experience of their own gender.
Identity & expression
It's important to note that gender identity is not the same as biological sex, which is typically assigned at birth based on physical characteristics. Gender identity is also distinct from gender expression, which refers to how a person presents their gender to the world through clothing, hairstyle, behavior, and other factors.
Respect
It's important to respect and validate each individual's gender identity, regardless of how it may differ from societal expectations or traditional notions of gender. People should be able to express their gender identity in a way that feels authentic to them and should be able to access the rights and protections they need to live fulfilling lives.
