The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time.

For the masculine noun, introduced by diff (@Mahagaja).
Dictionaries (DWDS, Duden) too only know a feminine Hete f (“heterosexual”), and the plural form Heten even when refering to males could be a form of that too.
PS: Hete f now has examples refering to male humans.

- Dang, you're right. Even when referring to men, Hete seems to always be feminine. —Mahāgaja · talk 10:05, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I've never heard it used as masculine. Duden also notes that it's mostly applied to men (in the singular). In the plural it means heterosexual people in general, regardless of gender. – Jberkel 15:50, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
- I have infrequently seen this used as a masculine, and there are examples on (non-durable) Twitter if you search for "ein Hete", "einen Hete", etc. I have not spotted it anywhere durable; I checked Issuu for any uses in gay magazines/papers to no avail. The usual form, as stated above, is Hete f even when the referent is a man. RFV-failed, although it may well become citeable one day. - -sche (discuss) 02:30, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
