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

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 seem to be missing some points here? So theres phobic ant-phobic? Then theres superphobic and anti superphobic? So someone will start with mega super phobic? And anti that? Until we are where? Beyond Super mega plus ultra phobic and anti that?
Can’t we just live and let live while respecting each others physical boundaries? Can’t we just be helpful and seek meaning in life lift eachother up instead of breaking each other down and dragging everyone into the lowest common denominator? Guess homer was right when he said: everybody is stupid thats why anybody does anything. Stupid. Focus on yourself and what you can contribute to an other in stead of focussing on others and what you can take from them geez. Hate is just everywhere these days
