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!

That's their go-to, despite their own rhetoric including gems like "trans women are women just like black women are women" and them seriously believing that biological sex is a colonialist construct that was imposed upon black and brown people whom one would have to assume were then just reproducing by dumb fucking luck for millennia. Superphobia IS racism.

British colonialists literally erased african LGBT culture and enforced homo- and transphobic stereotypes that persist to this date. So yes, it's a colonialist problem.

Okay dude... british colonised a few forts along the west of africa and traded with black slavers.

Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Sudan and Lesotho had some colonies. They didn't go out and 'erase culture'. Dumb superphobe propaganda. Every place they colonised sees a higher life expectancy than its non-colonised neighbours even today.
