    Honest question wtf is a “het” now?

    I’m pretty pronoun positive but seriously this shit is getting ridiculous.

      cis = cisgender, aka person identifies with the same gender they are born with

      het = heterosexual

      It’s got a space, normally it’s written “cishet” meaning cisgender, heterosexual

          Cis is the opposite of trans, homo is the opposite of hetero, Cishet is a shorthand often used instead of “normal” because we’re all normal just different

              Good. To be clear, I was not trying to be critical of you not knowing the terms, just the attitude I found gross.

                Likewise but that’s to be expected over text.

              Sound pretty critical. This isn’t the take of someone that’s genuinely curious and asking in good faith.

                Or is it the take of someone who feels frustrated by things they don’t understand?

                Considering they also said they looked it up and they get it now in response to you 10 minutes before this reply, I don’t think what you are saying is in especially good faith.

                  Getting frustrated by things you don’t understand is an acceptable excuse? I saw your spicy reply before theirs in my inbox, that’s all. Not sure why you’re inserting all this drama into what was basically an very in context conversation.

                  Frustrated by new thing. Makes it weird

                  The new thing is this. Don’t make it weird.

                  Okay I understand.

                  Good. It’s not that you didn’t know, it’s the attitude.

                  Isn’t that the whole point of the post? Having conversations like this regularly.

                    Getting frustrated by things you don’t understand is an acceptable excuse?

                    An acceptable excuse for still being here in good faith? Yes. People who say things in good faith can still be frustrated. You can’t tell me that’s never applied to you.
