A word created by exclusionists to remove asexuals from LGBTQ+ spaces. It's supposed to mean cisgendered heterosexual asexuals while in reality asexuality is it's own valid orientation and the gender of partner doesn't change that.
An asexual person can be heteroromantic or can belong on a spectrum (eg. demisexual) and lean towards opposite gender attraction while still being asexual and therefore having experiences inherently different from heteronormative ones.

"Cishet aces aren't queer."
"I disagree. Aces dating people of opposite gender are different from straights simply because they're aces."
