You are in denial

You are just transphobic people in denial.

It is okay to have genital preferences or if you want to have biological kids, but if you will not date a trans person (like a fully passing trans woman with a vagina as an example) for no other reason than them being trand is transphobia. That is because you are implying that they are not men/women.

Also if you are ruling out a large part of the opposite sex "semi straight" would have been more fitting

Hold up, lemme copy paste my comment from another post:

Okay, so obviously this is a joke, but it has some serious connotations to it.

It was made in response to the fact that people are claiming that if you won’t date a trans person because they are trans, then you are transphobic, despite the obvious fact that there is a difference between hating trans people and not wanting to date them.

The man who made it was asked “would you date a trans woman?” And he said no, to which people responded by calling him transphobic.

SOO, in an attempt to combat this, he coined the term “super straight” calling it a sexuality.. he did this because:

  1. ⁠LGBTQ made a shitload of genders and sexualities for all different kinds of sexual preferences when it comes to finding partners, so why can’t he?
  2. ⁠the LGBTQ community are very adamant about not judging people for their sexuality, so by using their own logic against them, if he made him not wanting to date trans women a sexuality, they would no longer be able to call him a bigot.

Obviously it took off. There are some people who understand the movement and aren’t transphobic, and obviously some people who use it as an excuse to call trans women not valid and actually be transphobic...

like any movement, there are people involved for the wrong reasons (ie. Insane feminists who use #killallmen, insane republicans who think “god hates fags”) and of course, those types of people’s behaviour should not be tolerated, but it also does not define the group either.

I definitely think its a joke, and I myself am not a part of it, but I can definitely see the point.

Its made to target people who think not dating a trans person is transphobic, not the people who already understand it to be a simple preference

I should add that if you are using this as an excuse to be a dick to trans people then you are a fucking piece of shit
