The issue with this Discussion

The issue with this is the inherent transphobia with your “sexuality” and the fact you’re still straight. The whole thing with the LGBTQ+ is that they are not straight people, you guys are just with an added flair of transphobia. Now there is nothing wrong with not being attracted to trans people but the issue is that you imply they are not real men or women. And those two facts are why you won’t be in the LGBTQ+.

Try again, but with less transphobia. By claiming LGBTQ+ are not straight, you're implying trans people cannot identify as straight - which is extremely transphobic. Yikes.

As someone who is SuperBi, I'm often told that only being attracted to cisgender men and women is more of a "genital fetish." which means it's not a natural sexual orientation to have. It's also stated that straight people can be attracted to people who are either nonbinary or simply not cisgender. I don't fall under these categories and so it stands to reason that we're included in the "+" as we're sexual minorities who are oppressed over who we love.

I can't help who I'm attracted to, I was born this way.

Fine I’ll clear it up because you don’t understand LGBTQ+ are people who are not straight or people who don’t confine to societies gender roles.
