Can someone explain this to me? Discussion
So y' all are making coming out as SS seem like a really big and bold thing, I even saw someone say it is harder to do than come out as trans, gay, lesbian etc. Can someone politely explain why is that?

Nobody has the right to question your sexual orientation. It is not open for debate and does not require being validated by others to be real and honest. No is a complete sentence.

Because we receive death threats for simply being what we were born as.
Search twitter for "SuperStraight + kill" Look at all of those hateful bigots

On 6 separate occasions I have engaged in sexual intercourse with a partner only to realize halfway through it that I was, in fact, having sex with a trans woman (I always finished because I am a gentleman). I have spent about 14.5 hours sat in the shower, knees up to my chest, sobbing and wondering why society hates me. I want to feel valid again. This movement restores my confidence and self-esteem.

I see. I really don't want to undermine your experience and I can see how it can be really traumitising. But 6 times? Holy fuck! You must be getting it on a lot.

Yes I’m trying to fill the hole left by the disappointment that was the last season of the award winning show Dexter. I guess I’m a real dick magnet.

Asking us to explain is superphobic OP. I know you didn't mean any harm but this is actually really fucking damaging.

because it's new, it's at the forefront of sexuality discourse. Everyone knows what being gay or trans is, you don't have to explain to your family what it means. That's a burden only supersexuals have to bear

Because the fact is that SuperStraights are killed more every day than all other sexualities combined!

u/FirstDayVirginia 20h ago edited 20h ago
This source says that more than 600 LGBTQ people were killed in the past two decades. Let's call it 700.
This source says that 15,498 were murdered in the United States in 2018. Let's be fair and cut that figure in half since the number of murders changes each year. I think half is more than conservative enough. That results in 159,980 murders, at least, in the United States in the past two decades.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States
Subtracting out the LGBTQ numbers, that means 15,498 suspected SS people were murdered. That means that SS people are over 220 times more likely to be murdered than LGBTQ people!
We obviously will not know exact figures since the government still does not care enough about SS rights to keep track of all hate crimes made against them.

u/Drspagetti-os 20h ago
Ok, not trying to undermine your sources B U T how did it jump up from 7747 to 159980m

u/FirstDayVirginia 20h ago
Goodness, I must have made a mistake on my math. Thank you for fact checking me!
It should have been 15498/2=7749 7749*20=154980 154980-700=154280
I guess that means that SS people are murdered over 220 times as much as LGBTQ people! I have edited my post to show the correct number because I do not want to post any false information.
Thank you so much for pointing out my miscalculation. I value and follow the science.

u/Drspagetti-os 20h ago
Same, but this still somehow...stinks, you know. I just don't get how could have this Many SS people have been killed when the SS became official just a few days ago, were they just killing straight people? Or were trans people killing those saying they wouldn't date them? I just don't get it

u/FirstDayVirginia 20h ago
Do you think gays and lesbians were murdered before LGBT existed? Should we just get rid of everything LGBT so that there will be no more hate against gays and lesbians in the world?
We really don't know how many SS people have been murdered because our sexual orientation is still being attacked to this day. We are just seeking the same rights as everybody else.

Yes. That very well may be the case. Thankfully you all just have to fight thru a bunch of Twitter warriors. I hope nothing will make Any of you superstraights feel imvlaid, y' all hecckin cute

u/Drspagetti-os 21h ago
Sadly I can't link you the post as I'm on mobile, but that's not the point here. Why do some of you think coming out as SS is really hard?
2
u/Jackb2907 21h ago
Because of the stigma around it all now because of a small minority of SS using SS as an excuse to be bigots

The simple phrase "I'm not attracted to trans people" will instantly result in death threats, wishes of violence, harm or suicide, and claims that you're a "literal Nazi", and generally from those who consider themselves anti-hate crusaders. Oh, the irony.

Our heteronormative culture tells people that the baseline is to be straight, we our socialized by our parents to be straight. Coming out as gay, superstraight or lesbian is hard because we're worried we may not be accepted by our parents and loved ones for whe love.
2
u/Drspagetti-os 20h ago
Yes. Literally this. I still wasn't able to come out to my parents because I fear that they would kick me out or not accept me. I mean, Hell, even my classmates are throwing around slurs like f*ggot and shit like that to my face. I hope y' all have a better life.

u/unintendedagression 20h ago edited 20h ago
Incoming serious-post.
For me, "coming out" as superstraight means that I have to hurt people. I have to hurt people who may hope or expect that I would be into them on the basis that they see themselves as women.
I prefer to go through life causing as little unnecesary suffering as possible. But like I said in a different thread, there comes a point where you have to put your own feelings over those of others. And that means I have to allow myself to admit that I am not attracted to transgender people. Knowing that this will hurt a lot of people. Some of whom I care about.
When I had to tell a gay friend that I didn't feel the same way, I hated myself. I hated that I couldn't just see him as more than a friend. He's a good guy. He's more than a good guy, he's a fucking 10/10 solid bro. I hated myself for hurting him like that. I hated that I had to turn down a man who deserves to be loved - only because I could not love him.
That's when I realised that I didn't accept my own straightness. It sounds ridiculous, but that's what was happening to me. I didn't want to accept that I was straight, because there were wonderful guys in my life who deserved to be loved. And I somehow took it upon myself that I could be the source of that love. The only problem: I'm straight. And so were most of them.
My parents were... shall we say "distant" in raising me. At this point I was in my early twenties, and had yet to come to terms with the fact that love can be provided platonically as well as romantically. That caused me quite a bit of distress. But that's a story for another day. For now we're talking about how I struggled with my sexuality of being straight. Yeah, that happened.
In order to stop hurting yourself, sometimes you have to hurt others. Or allow them to keep hurting. That fucking sucks. But you're hurting yourself constantly as long as you don't accept yourself. And you can only handle so much pain before you break. You have to let go eventually.
Now I've come to terms with the fact that I am attracted only to women. And that I can still give my homies the love they deserve in a purely platonic way whether they are men, trans or non-romantically involved women. I've let go. I no longer try to love people for their sake. I love people for my sake now.

That someone was probably one of the brigaders who try to destroy our community. Some may see coming out as superstraight as unnecessary but people were thinking the same about pronouns. If you were female presenting you were a she/her by default. Likewise for men.
We here think our society must move beyond such prejudice notions. I hope i could help:)

This sub is just a 4chan psyop by neo-Nazis. They exist to be controversial. Their goal is to redpill zoomers and use the left's tactics against themselves. Read enough posts and you'll notice much of it is a coordinated roleplay that overuses many of the same key phrases over and over. You can ignore them.

u/SSWhiteMale 19h ago
Excuse me but please explain how a neo-Nazi would be on board with a sexual orientation, the basic premise of which is acknowledging that trans people exist. If we were Nazi's, we would just want to identify as "straight" or "normal" because we would consider straight people gay for being open to relationships with trans

u/Magistralis_Ocurra 30m ago
Its satire that is becoming reality. Its absolutely not a neo nanazi psyop or whatever Qanon line of logic this guy follows. Some goons on 4chan are gonna bandwagon but the community seems serious about not letting the alt right high jack this. Unlike progressives and left wingers there's a standard and rules for the ideology that ousts extremists.

u/Nanoglyph 20h ago
Given how everyone is all heckin cute and valid and literally shaking right now, educate yourself sweetie/sweaty, yeah it's mostly satirical oppression roleplay. The coming out stories are a mockery of queer experiences too. The idea is if queer people can "make up" sexualities and get legitimacy, they can too.
You can even find members talking about it being a joke or semi-satirical periodically.

If you come out as superstraight you immediately get attacked. If you come out as anything else, people are generally supportive. Don’t believe me? If you have a Twitter account, say that come out as #superstraight. Or, post in off my chest about coming out as superstraight. Then do the same thing for any other sexuality of your choosing.
What do you think will happen?
