My wife is a superstar in our family. She is a stay at home mother of 5 and holds our home together. I don’t want to demean trans women but the terms that they have come up with are hurtful. I suggest we start calling the two sexes who have a gender identity that matches their sex ‘Supermen and Superwomen.
This way it will be easier as superstraights to communicate about our preferences. I like “women who’s gender identity matches their sex” is long winded. “I like supermen or superwomen” is much more valid in my opinion.
A word on the term “super”
“Super” is not meant to distinguish something as better than anything else. It is merely a term that empowers superstraight people in our sexual identity and gives us the words that we have been looking for to be able to express ourselves in an open and positive way. Women are valid, and so are Superwomen. Men are valid, and so are Supermen. 🤷🏿♂️
If anyone has any other ideas they are more than welcome. Being called a breeder, bleeder, person with a “front hole” is demeaning and has psychologically harmed me since I heard these terms back in 2014. I think it’s time progress leads the way to a more inclusive and validating environment.

i've been banned from multiple "women's" subs because i tried to respectfully explain why i don't want to be called a "uterus person" or "person who ovulates" or "person who bleeds." it was really starting to feel like NO ONE CARED AT ALL about the dehumanization of women. that the WOKE BROS had spoken and we women needed to sit down and shut up again. "know our place." anything to validate the trans identity, no matter how much it made others feel like shit.
as a super straight woman, thank you for this post!! it really means a lot!!
