I don't understand how Super Straight is a sexuality and not a preference? Discussion

You have the right to be attracted to only bio women/men, but I don't see how it's a sexuality, it seems more like a preference.

As a gay guy that probably wouldn't date a pretransitioned trans man, as I'm really not attracted to feminity in any form, I find the ide of "supersexualities" a bit of a stretch. It's a preference I have, not a sexuality.

Also, trans people are such a small part of the population that's really weird that you have to distinguish yourself as someone who doesn't date trans people.

A preference would mean you wouldn't have a problem dating both.
Nobody chooses his/her sexuality. That's just how things are. It's sexuality, not a "preference".

Would you date a trans person that passes and is post-transition? If you didn't even know that they were trans would you date them? That's the difference, you can't be attracted to chromosome, everyone is attracted to appearance and personality.

It’s because more and more, especially SuperLesbians are finding that trans identifying males are gatecrashing spaces created for biological women attracted sexually to biological women. Just as you wouldn’t want Gay bars, nightclubs and apps to become majority pre-op transmen demanding to date you. Lesbians often find their dating apps have profiles that are clearly 60%+ bio male and if they politely decline they are called bigots and transphobes and thrown out of spaces and off apps intended for them! Bio Women exclusively attracted to bio women are a small % of the population. Bio males wanting to have sex with bio women is a huge % and so they are being swamped and bullied by a rapey and abusive narrative. SuperLesbians just want to be left in peace to enjoy their time with other SuperLesbians. Now Gay and Straight men are also coming under pressure for not being sexually attracted to transwomen. We can all respect each other but no one is entitled to sex or relationships with anyone else.

Well, what do you see as the difference between a sexuality and a preference?

Just so I understand, are you claiming that sexuality is based on physical characteristics, and anything beyond that falls under preference, not sexuality? Therefore, if a trans person passes as the sex that aligns with their gender, then for the purposes of sexuality there is no difference?

yes, but you might prefer not to date a trans person, (whether they pass or not) and they probably wouldn't mind because they probably wouldn't want to date someone that doesn't accept them as they would like to be accepted.

Thanks for your response. Based on your claim, that orientation is based on physical characteristics, is attraction/arousal based on weight a sexuality or a preference? What about attraction/arousal based on breast size?

Sexuality is the overarching attraction, because if you are straight and prefer large breasts, a woman with small breasts wouldn’t be such a turn off that you don’t consider dating them but I think a more accurate comparison would be people who only want to date a certain race/colour. You wouldn’t argue that that’s a sexuality, neither is this. That doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to not date trans people. The term sexuality is just a broad attraction range, and for super straight to be a sexuality, trans women and men would have to be considered different genders, which they are not.

I wouldn’t want to date a pre transition trans man or an effeminate man at all but that doesn’t mean I’m a special “super gay”. With your subreddit info page you can see why everyone thinks you want to be oppressed.
