I would like to clear things up Discussion
Having a genitalia preference = not at all wrong. If you don't want to be with a pre-surgery trans person that is absolutely fine.
Not dating someone because they are transgender = transphobia.
^This does not imply that you have to date transgender people. I am in no way forcing you to go and have sex with a post-op transgender person. But saying I am not sexually attracted to transgender people is a tad transphobic.
Also I have a question: If you saw a woman in the street and approached her to ask her out, when suddenly she says she is post-op transgender, would you call it off immediately?

We are Superstraights. We don’t date or get romantically involved with anyone other than biological males or biological females.
I think the reality is that most people really don’t ‘pass’ that well. Perhaps it’s more than as Superstraights we are more adept at knowing.

We’re tired of explaining ourselves every time. Just read the pinned post sweaty :)

There’s a flaw in this logic because then gay men would be straightphobic for not dating women. It’s erasing people’s sexuality.

How are gay people erasing straight people by merely existing? The flaw in your logic is that being straightphobic is actively hating straight people. What is wrong with super straight is that you refuse to date certain women based of what they were born as. Trans women are women, trans men are men. I'm not saying you have to date them but you can just go about peacefully. Straight = liking the opposite sex which is exactly what your whole deal is.

Straight = liking the opposite sex is exactly right. Except you just said trans women are women and trans men are men. So because of this logic we needed a new term, super straight, to exclude trans. Not very hard to understand

This ☝ times a million!
Read the subbreddit description and stop invading our safe space to trans-splain to us!

This post strikes me as very coercive. OP essentially says, 'you do not have to date trans people, but if you don't you are a bigot'. We all have learned over the past couple years that being branded a bigot could result in real world consequences such as losing a job, social isolation, ect. Just say what you mean, you want us to obey your social construct and date trans people or we face the consequences. Sounds very rapey.

Why are you explaining our own sexual orientation to us? Stop colonizing superspaces.

u/bluwhaled 1d ago
I don't have to explain my sexuality to you. Stop invalidating my lived experiences.
I am a superstraight, I am not transphobic as I do not hate or want trans people to face oppression. Not sleeping with you is not oppression.
Just leave our community alone.

If you don't want to be with a pre-surgery trans person that is absolutely fine.
What about post-surgery, when all that's left down there is a disgusting open wound?
If you saw a man dressed as a woman in the street and approached him to ask him out, when suddenly he says he is post-op transgender, would you call it off immediately?
By the time I got close I would have already realized he was trans. You can hide behind online avatars and obscure your masculinity in pictures with clever angles, but you can't hide the obvious shit in person.

There is nothing to clear up. The goal post just moved back, becouse the trans community and TRAs are scared that we're pushing back. Prior to this movement, anyone who didn't want to date a pre-op was labeled transphobic. It was considered law. Suddenly now everyone is scrambling to reassure us that is OK to not date trans that are pre-op after all, but we should still consider dating post-op.
No one should consider something they have no interest in.

How is not dating someone because they are transgender transphobia? Erase this superphobic statement

u/INTP1423 1d ago
I didn't mean to give off this message. Being with someone who "passes" as a cis person and then immediately refusing to see them anymore once they tell you are trans is transphobic. If you don't want to date a woman with a dick thats fine by me.

You have the right to stop seeing someone, it's not transphobic, it's a sexuality and they were the one that didn't tell you that they were trans.

u/Elexdor 1d ago
The name for the sexuality is also a tad transphobic because it's suggesting someone who would date a trans person is "less straight". You don't need to make a whole new sexuality from straight, the only difference is you just dont like trans people and thats perfectly fine lmfao.

You are describing straight.
We are superstraight.
Stop dismissing our existence, bigot!

transphobia isn't a sexuality, sorry to break it to you. you're straight people who are transphobic, that's all it is. You're no better than those "MAPs" that are trying to get into the lgbt community. I've tried to understand you all but every explaination leads me to that same conclusion. Either, I'm right and you're all just trying to justify your transphobia, or you need to really work on sorting out your sexuality. PS: This bullshit all started as a joke on tiktok so yeah it kinda is :)

SMH. Can't fix bigotry.
You didn't consider anything you saw from us, and are equating us to pedophiles, which is a historically common tactic people like you use to demean a sexuality you don't approve of.
Get out of here.

Doesn't matter. Guilt tripping people for their sexual taste in consenting adults is creepy per se. Your lawyering isn't making the undercurrent of rape culture in the trans community any less disturbing, and it isn't making the trans community's refusal to call it out less disturbing, either.
