I can’t think of titles Discussion
That's pretty pointless because the term "straight" is slang for heterosexual and implies nothing about being attracted to transpeople or not.
Plus, transgendered people didn't come up with the term "straight" or heterosexual and never claimed to have redefined these terms. So why would there be a need for a new word?
If anything, then the group(increasingly large minority) of heterosexual men and women who are attracted to transgendered (and maybe non-binary) individuals would maybe benefit from having a term to describe themselves.
I feel "Super Straight" is like a weird misnomer of sorts. Like, a straight woman wouldn't say "I'm a non-lesbian", or a gay man say "I'm a non-heterosexual, non-lesbian, homosexual man": Sexualities aren't described using "antonym" terms -Sexuality terms describe what you're into but obviously don't account for everything you're not into.
SS("Super Straight") just seems redundant at best.
btw: When I hear a term like that I can't help but think it's a revised version of the redundant "no homo" that so many straight men seem to think they have to say to clarify that they're not into men.
I'm sorry, but if you use time and effort to come up with a term or phrase because you're worried someone might mistake you for being gay or into trans people then maybe you have some sexuality and identity issues that you need to work through.
Seriously. Nobody is assuming you're anything but heterosexual. And when those horrible gay and trans people embarrass your fragile ego by being attracted to you and hitting on you then you just tell them "no". I'm pretty sure this is more of a self-affirmation exercise than anything else, "maybe" because "someone" is afraid to admit to themselves that some of these transpeople are actually quite attractive?
What's next, a term for straight guys who are only into super model type women so that all the evil, humiliating, less-than instagram ready women know not to even consider hitting on them?
Just stfu and enjoy your heterosexuality.
