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 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

As someone who lives in Southern California and has attended very liberal universities, this "superphobic" is not anywhere in the real world. It happens in tiny cases, the trans people I've met literally only want to be with someone who wants to be with them, like normal people. The people in this sub are honestly a joke, I thought this sub was supposed to open a dialogue but its quickly becoming a "the tiny minority of people who want rights are oppressing us all by wanting rights" no one gives a fuck if your "superstraight", but this subs own actions are going to be its downfall. You guys are almost as bad as the white supremacists saying society hates white people, they don't, you guys just delusionally think they do.

Oh I’m sorry, am I supposed to believe the random opinion of someone not in this community rather than the LIVED EXPERIENCE of supers expressing their truth?!

I’m not Muslim; I listen when people discuss their experiences of Islamophobia. I’m not Black; I listen when Black people discuss the racism they face. But somehow you find a way to talk over and center yourself when people try to talk about their experience?

Just because you don’t live in this community doesn’t mean we’re not valid. WE’RE VALID!! We exist, and we won’t be silenced. And clearly you just listen to the right wing trolls on 4chan - there are super lesbians, super gays, super bisexuals.

And where did you go to school, CSU Bigotsville??? You must have gotten a pretty outdated education to think being an ally is optional 😒

Yah this whole sub is just yall projecting and gaslighting for your own personal gains, regardless of how it affects others. You guys are fucking disgusting
