Queer neurodivergent people belong

 Covertly neurobigoted term of the day: "Cishet." This is short for "cisgender, heterosexual," and in and of itself, there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, it's good to have a term for cisgender, heterosexual people for linguistic parity with other sexual and gender identities, and to avoid common rhetoric that frames cisgender, heterosexual people as "normal" or "regular."

The problem is with the way this term is used to covertly distance neurotypical and presumed-neurotypical LGBTQIA+ people from neurodivergent and presumed-neurodivergent ones, by dismissing the latter as "cishets." Usually this takes the form of "(Neurodivergent-coded identity) shouldn't be welcome in queer spaces, because they're cishets."

Otherkin, furries, polyamorous people, and people whose sexuality isn't gender-based are often categorically denounced as "not belonging in queer spaces" because they're "cishets" -- whether they're cisgender and heterosexual or not. Sometimes asexuals (who are definitionally not "heterosexual") and non-binary people (who are definitionally not "cisgender") are tossed in the "cishet" category as well.

What these demographics have in common is that they are associated, rightly or wrongly, with neurodivergent people. Categorically declaring these people with "weird" traits/ sexualities/ lifestyles to "not belong in queer spaces" is more about preserving the respectability of neurotypical queer people from the taint of association with "weirdos" than it is about the fairly remote chance of actual cisgender, heterosexual people fraudulently claiming to be queer for some reason.
