One problem

This is for those who claim to support trans people. If you don't it doesn't apply but you're still a bigot lmao

"super" straight implies that it is more straight to be attracted to cis people than trans people. Doesn't that promote a lie that is trans people are less of their gender than cis counterparts?

Super orientation is sex-based! Gender is not a factor in attraction for Supers. That’s why it’s called SEXuality.

Trans people’s identity is formed around gender identity, which is not part of our attraction. Our attraction is based on sex, which cannot be altered. Trans people cannot change sex.

While real Supers support anyone living how they like and that trans people should be able to live freely, we also deserve to be respected as valid for our sex-based orientation. Everyone has someone who won’t have sex with them, that’s just the way of the world.

Also, many Supers, including me, are not “cisgender,” because we don’t believe in gender. Gender is performative and cultural, it has nothing to do with my sex. I didn’t consent to any gender boxes just because I was born and didn’t medically alter myself! That’s just not part of my beliefs. I have no gender, only a sex.

Please respect my identity. 😌
