Factory Settings

Aka. Cis and Hetero. Aka. the "normality" for most parents to raise their children into. Used as a sarcasm term when dealing with queerphobic or/and transphobic people. Not a bad thing per se.

John: WTF, do you mean I'm a cis-hetero man?

David: I mean you are in factory settings.
