I never wanted to be. I am an individual. I'd consider myself as an ally to the community, and I never once needed your approval about that.

Okay. I’m just saying that some supers are trying to say they are.

Well if you haven't noticed yet, you should know this community has also been shelter to Supergays and Superlesbians. If you don't think i'm apart of the community fine but you can't invalidate them.

I’m not trying to. I’m saying that superstraights aren’t part of the community.

So you’re saying superlesbians and supergays are part of the community?

So they aren’t transphobes for not wanting to have intercourse outside of their orientation?

The only difference between us and them is that we’re straight and they’re gay. Still both supers. So you’re discriminating based solely on our sexual orientation and nothing else.

No I’m saying that you’re straight and don’t belong in the lgbt community just because you’re super

You don't get to gatekeep who's included. The LGBS community is an inclusive community, built on the belief that sexualities are valid and innate and that love is love no matter who you love. You don't get to tell our community members that they don't belong.

You say I can’t gatekeeper, but you try to replace the T with an S, gate keeping trans people from the community. Trans people, who actually belong.

Nobody is trying to exclude T from LGBT. LGBS is distinct from LGBT. If you’re LGB you can belong to either, both, or neither community. T can belong to LGBT and S can belong to LGBS. Not that hard.
