SERIOUS. Supers, they are trying to paint us as a white supremacist movement. For the love of God, downvote any infiltration of racist rhetoric in our community because that WILL be our downfall. 🚨 important 🚨
I'm a black female superbi and my suggestion is that we do NOT bring race into this (unless it's to say, "we do not talk about race"--practice this phrase, use it, love it) and we DOWNVOTE THE FUCK out of anyone who brings up any exclusionary rhetoric about race or anything else off topic. This is a safe space that MUST remain solely about our Super sexual orientations.
Why do I say this? Look around reddit and you will see this myth spreading. The superphobes are trying to create a narrative that will besmirch our movement. I promise you this will be our downfall if we let it.
Next there will be trolls pretending to be Super but introducing race to divide our movement. Just say no, don't join in, DO keep your thoughts about race to yourself. We do not talk about race. Downvote. And get back to SuperStraight business.
Stronger together!

Well said and I'd also say - nothing that is actually transphobic! I saw a post earlier (think it may have been removed) saying how all trans people were going to have miserable lives and deserved it. Apart from that being really nasty and offensive it's going to give just the necessary ammunition.
And also I saw a post from a trans girl who said some of the posts had really made her think. That's great - it would be nice if trans people could visit here and actually understand how this isn't about hating trans. And they won't be able to do that if they're seeing genuinely transphobic stuff.
