I’ll admit to being that kind of idiot that felt “cishet” was a strangely ugly word to describe myself. I was never outwardly against it like this goober though.
I got over it really quick once my idiot brain allowed it to click that it was short for “cisgendered heterosexual.” I never claim to be a smart man, but I try to learn when I can.
Tbh if “cishet” sounds ugly to cishets, I consider that a feature. Give the cissies a tiny taste of all the absurd slurs they’ve been hurling at us for like, near a century.
This is fair, also partly why I never said anything about it, I wasn’t gonna get any sympathy from the people that deal with infinitely worse on a daily basis.
For like a solid year I thought that “cishet” was some sort of Tumblr-insult and meant to be pronounced like “CiSHIT”. It lead to a lot of eyerolling from me whenever I read it, until it somehow dawned on me that it meant “cisgendered heterosexual”.
Before I knew it was a Latin prefix that’s generically used in chemistry to mean “same”, my first encounter with it was defined as “comfortable in skin”. That was immediately as benign to me as heterosexual. From like age 3 I’ve never felt the need to question my sexuality, for as long as I can remember I’ve disliked masculinity but have never felt an impulse to change my body or gender performance. I was just like “oh cool, there’s a participation trophy word if none of this applies to me.”

Then we can be comrades
I like the cut of your jib, fellow dumb guy.
