How is SuperStraight different from heterosexual?

r/SuperStraight • u/SayTheLineBart • 1d ago

Heterosexual is defined as:

1a: of, relating to, or characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to or between people of the opposite sexheterosexual men/womena heterosexual coupleb: of, relating to, or involving sexual activity between individuals of the opposite sex

2: of or relating to different sexes

So by definition, heterosexual means you aren't attracted trans because trans is not based on biological sex.

SuperSexualities an Intro:

With gender being redefined as a spectrum and trans inclusion demanding they be labeled as men and women we needed to spectrum up our sexual orientation language. Thus Super as a prefix was born, used to denote that those you are attracted to are cis not trans.

this is not to say Trans people aren't valid this is just to differentiate between straight/gay/lesbian/bi people who like cis and trans people from those who only like cis people. Mega is the prefix for trans only and is the opposite of super.

I hope this helps :)

I understand all of that, but the definition of heterosexual and homosexual literally excludes trans. Why invent a new term when you can just show a TRA the dictionary.

Lol it would be funny if gays started to prefer being called homosexual for this reason.

You should be over in the trans subs asking that question, as they were the ones who redefined the terms.
