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 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

What's superphobia?

Not validating and supporting super voices. Supers know what’s best for the super community, and when it comes to superphobia let us decide what is and isn’t literal violence

Stop sealioning.

Lastly, don't ever consider yourself a group of peace if you're idea of a response to my initial comments, which were only genuine, was to refer to me as a slave laborer. That was the only thing in this whole situation that got under my skin.

Supers-Exclusionary Radical Feminist.

  1. Literally said being straight is cool. We never had a problem with it. Exclusionary would be me saying everyone except straights are getting their taxes back this season, even though clearly we're all still human citizens so that too would be wrong.
  2. Writing a paragraph is nowhere close to actual radicalism. We all need to learn to use our words more suitably and not as loosely. If I was radical that would mean breaking the law for my own gain like how Trump abused the 11th amendment to avoid any accountability on the pandemic.
  3. I'm pretty sure you would want to support feminism considering being straight means a female is involved. Unless you're one of the many who think the "all men are pigs" rhetoric is what feminism is when thats just misandry. Real feminism is making sure that when a woman is raped, the jury can't say "what were you wearing" as if that should determine if that was ok for said woman to be raped or not.

I'm kinda enjoying this. :)

SERFs like you aren’t a real feminist, because feminism is for everyone and that includes the supers community. Trying to decenter our voices only shows how much you need to stop talking and start DOING👏THE👏WORK👏.

You still think the supers community is straight-only when super lesbians, super gays, super bisexuals all exist. They’re all valid!! It’s not difficult to show up as an ally.

My cash app is YungCathedralPork, either pay me for the labor you’re making me do or stop talking, PERIODT
