 === "Cishets" ===
-The word cishet was originally used by trans people, with the implication being someone who is [[cisgender]], [[Straight|heterosexual]], and heteroromantic. However it was adopted by exclusionist as a dogwhistle meaning a-spec people. Originally it meant heteroromantic asexuals, or aromantic heteroromantics, however for some exclusionist it has come to mean [[aroace]] people or even all a-spec people. Some exclusionist claim to be fine with [[Transgender|trans]] a-spec people and people who are [[gay]] as well and a-spec, however exclusionist often harass a-spec people regardless of their other identities.

 Similar claims are used against [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]] people, such as claims that aromantics are men who "just what to have one night stands and not deal with the emotional repercussions". They also frequently make fun of aromantic terminology, such as [[Queerplatonic Relationship|queerplatonic relationships]], and [[aplatonic]] aros. They will say that aromantics have no friends/don't know what friendship is.

-Exclusionist will often claim that asexuals are not a part of the LGBT community because asexuals do not experience oppression. When presented with evidence of asexual oppression they will either outright refuse to admit that it happened, sometimes trying to gaslight rape victims by staying that they weren't actually raped. Or they will claim that the oppression experienced was actually misdirected homophobia or misogyny.

 === Demonetization of Asexuals ===
-Exclusionist will go out of their way to make fun of asexuals or make them look bad. They often claim that claiming asexuality exists inherently sexualizes all other LGB identities. Similarly they often claim that minors cannot identify as asexual because it's an inherently sexualized identity. They will claim that asexuals prey on young child, convincing them that they're asexual. Some exclusionist once identitied as asexual, then realized that they weren't asexual, and they are convinced that all asexuals must be the same as them.

-Exclusionist will often pose as asexuals, and make posts about how much they "like being ace" and how they're "glad they aren't a dirty allo, always thinking about sex".
