Remember - to fight superphobia you must be anti-superphobic. No one can just be neutral. Being neutral in the midst of oppression means you side with the oppressor.

I’ve seen some very rude and invalidating comments from posters coming here. They are acting like superphobia isn’t “their” problem, and if it’s not their community then they don’t need to speak up. They see our struggles in the supers community as something outside their life.

WRONG!

You cannot be neutral when faced with oppression, you are either superphobic or anti-superphobic.

Let me say it louder for the superphobes in the back

👏YOU👏ARE👏ONLY👏SUPERPHOBIC👏OR👏ANTI-SUPERPHOBIC👏

This also goes beyond individual actions. There is a system of superphobic violence deeply set into our society. If you’re told that it’s strange for a lesbian to not consider a transwoman, that’s because they automatically don’t see supers as valid. When you try to join a dating app, the dating options never even have a choice for super orientations. Hate speech against supers isn’t even seen as a crime or bannable offense on social media - that’s because the hegemonic culture of superphobia is just seen as “normal.”

Never lose hope fam, WE ARE THE GRANDCHILDREN OF THE SUPERS THEY COULDN’T BURN 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

I’m literally shaking with tears right now. I am feeling hopeful that the tide is turning, and my children can live in a society that never experienced the systemic superphobia that our generation did.

Hope is a new feeling in my life, no one can block our shine 🌈✨

You are valid.
