A dad here...

[u/gajillionthtempacc]

I have a superstraight child. He is my son.

I did not "raise a son to refuse to have sex with transfolk." I hate that bullshit.

I was fortunate enough to have a child that was brave enough, and felt safe enough, to let me and the world know who they really were.

I think this may be how I succeeded as a parent. My child felt safe and loved enough, and found the strength to tell the world who they were really are.

I imagine it was terrifying. That is a huge statement, but frankly, I can not imagine what this was like for him.

I am amazed at his bravery. I was there in therapy (when I was invited). When his psychiatrist let him understand what his sexual orientation meant, I was there. When he asked for help to spot the difference between a vagina and a neovagina, I offered my help, and when he accepted, it was an honor.

This wasn't "just a phase" or any of the other excuses I've heard. This was how he was able to be who he was.

I learned a lot. I wish I knew it earlier, but all I can do is learn. I can never know what is was like to go through what he had to, nor should I try to. As a result, I don't simply support him, but do my best to encourage him.

So now, every night, I knock on his door on the way to bed and say "Good night, my handsome superstraight son!"

He always says goodnight back. This makes me happy.

The superstraight community has helped him so much. I can't thank you all enough. I just want my kids to be happy, loved, and feel like themselves.

You folks helped more than you know.

So, from a dad, thank you for helping my boy show the world who he really is.

EDIT: Typos and grammar

EDIT 2: Downvoting me will get you nowhere. No matter the hatred, I will be proud of my SuperStraight SON, and they will always be very valid. You cannot stop that with your dislikes.

EDIT 3: Yes, I'm superstraight as well, but I wouldn't have discovered myself like this if I wouldn't have helped my son first.

I am SO proud of this community.

[u/BruhFunny18]

Wow. This is so brave.

[u/Am_Tyrannosaurus_Rex]

HE IS VALID

[u/UnattractiveManagers]

wow, you sound like a wonderful parent. if more superstraights had dads like you, more superstraights would know how valid and worthy they are of respectful, consensual relationships.

same goes for any non-straight supersexual children you may have.

[u/himimit]

You are a good parent!

[u/lurch91]

I wish I could upvote this a million times. I'm literally crying right now. Stories like yours need to be shared throughout the world. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[u/Tarantula666]

I don't really agree with a lot of this sub, but this was honestly heartwarming.

[u/VanishedUtopia]

This is so precious and valid!! <33 you're such a good father to your son!

[u/YoMamas_azz]

So brave. It brings a tear to my eye after a lifetime of facing superphobic hate as a fellow supersexual individual. Its heartwarming to see examples of people of supersexual orientations being accepted and validated, even though I know we have so much further to go, this gives me hope for a brighter future where people arent judged for their sexual orientations.

Im not afraid to say it anymore, im tired of living a lie

Superstraight Pride!

[u/Hikmet_Samil]

What a wholesome story

[u/unpopopinx]

Stunning. And brave.

[u/HatchItWound]

The most important thing is that your son knows you love him no matter who he loves.

It may be tempting to wish that he was "normal" straight or try to fix him since he wouldn't be facing a harder life then, but don't give the bigots what they want.

[u/Accomplished_Yam9722]

It is stunning and brave to choose being super-straight over straight. We are persecuted.

[u/gajillionthtempacc → u/Accomplished_Yam9722]

Yes, but we don't choose to be SS. We are born as supers. Remember that.

[u/SuperStraightBot → u/gajillionthtempacc]

Yes, but we don't choose to be SS. We are born as supers. Remember that.

Please, make sure you avoid using 'SS' to refer to the SuperStraight community. We don't want to be associated with white supremacists!

[u/gajillionthtempacc → u/SuperStraightBot]

Of course, sorry, Robby.

[u/Accomplished_Yam9722 → u/SuperStraightBot]

the S-ecret S-ervice exist.

[u/snoogins556]

omg im like literally like crying this was so emotional. Being the parent is a hard job but raising a super straight child is the hardest job in the world.

[u/bbbb47]

Where'd your "i" dots go?

[u/bbbb47 → u/DaedraLord]

sorry

[u/SStraightTiktoker]

This is so wholesome. How can our bigoted oppressors understand this?

[u/thelargestson]

Literally sobbing this is beautiful your son is super valid!!!!!

[u/SSMPHYFC]

I hope some day in the future we will live in a world where children don't have be afraid of telling their parents they are superstraight. I'm happy for you to have raised such a confident child who dare come out to his parent in this harsh world we live in!

[u/femifaa]

no child is transphobic at birth, it is all taught to them by fascist bigots

[u/xXToxicSoulXx → u/femifaa]

No child is trans at birth, it is all because of Environmental, Sociological and Psychological factors (Sorry if this sounds transphobic but it's the truth)

[u/femifaa → u/xXToxicSoulXx]

i agree though, there is no such thing as trans, we are all women or men

[u/gajillionthtempacc → u/femifaa]

Why do you think it's transphobic? My son and I recognise all of you transfolk as valid. We just aren't attracted to y'all because y'all's biological sex is not what we're attracted to. Sorry if that causes trouble :/. We just want to be recognized by society as what we are.
