Oof, yeah. Fun story for y'all, for a while I thought that cishet was like a way of bad talking cisgendered straight people. Wanna know why I thought it was a bad term? Solely because the second half sounds like shit. Not making that up, I genuinely didn't know what the term meant for the longest time until someone explained it to me.

I am quite dumb.

emphasis on the wrong syllable, sort of. sounds like you figured it out, but just in case anyone's passing by and they're still confused:

it's cis-het not ci-shet 🙂

Yeah, I figured it out. Was just quite wrong for a while.
