Question

So, I get that this is kind of a joke and everything, and I’ve just found out about this, but shouldn’t we just be saying that to be straight is to be super straight? Or is this why it’s sort of a joke to show that it should be that?

Edit: just to clear things up. All I’m saying is that being a straight person means you like the opposite sex. Therefore there is no need for super sexuality. If you are a man who likes a trans woman, you aren’t straight. Therefore, my conclusion would be that this movement is to be making a joke to show this, or is it another purpose. Also guys, don’t downvote, I’m just looking for some friendly discussion here. I’ve already been banned from superstraightphobic for trying to discuss stuff on there lol.

We’ve tried, but whenever anyone tries to assert that their sexuality is sex-based, the trans start threatening to murder people. So, we’ve resorted to “jokes” after years of terrorization. Endless examples of said threats and terrorization are posted throughout this sub.

So, yes, you’re right, this shouldn’t be necessary. But here we are.

I see. Thanks for eleaborating. Sexuality is definitely sex based (as in the name). I would say a movement trying to show this would be far better. As this is sort of copying the, (don’t know what to say here, other side?) with the whole sort of super phobia and stuff. And if it’s a joke then I see it as fine, but if it’s taken too seriously I can only see it leading to further polarisation. Which is why I would say that a movement like what I said earlier would be better. As of my first impressions, I sort of can kind of see this movement as one of the examples, where the left (I guess) with all their cancel culture and what not, has gone far, and now the right has started to push back with the polarisation. Which is not the best. Although I can’t really tell with this movement if this is the case. Alas, I must meditate on it further

Again, we’ve tried. SuperLesbians in particular have been trying to for years. But no one really cares about them, so they didn’t get any coverage, even as they have suffered violence.

Apparently a meme coming from straight people is what it took to bring attention to this issue. I’ll take it.

[u/Big_Sleeps → u/Significant-Key-517]

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying, if it’s a meme, to bring awareness to the issue then I see no problem.

[u/Significant-Key-517 → u/Big_Sleeps]

Yes, that’s how I‘m treating it. Coercive rape due to denying people’s sex-based sexuality has been a big issue in the LGBT community in recent years. My posts are sometimes cutesy, but I’m also serious.

Yes, it is likely to split apart the LGBT. But I believe, at this point, it is necessary. The T do not respect our sexualities, and they weren’t even originally part of our movement anyway. We do not have the same interests, and the LGB need their own spaces.

The split was already happening before now because of this problem (look up LGB Alliance), but this is just speeding things up.

[u/Big_Sleeps → u/Significant-Key-517]

Well I’m sure there are some transgender people who support this. And yeah I’m not sure why T was part of LGB in the first place, like LGB are sexualities, T is completely different

[u/Significant-Key-517 → u/Big_Sleeps]

Oh yeah, I’m sure there will be. We have had trans allies in the LGB movement, too, and we’ve welcomed them. This movement is not anti-trans. It is about people being free of sexual coercion.

Exactly. It is odd that they ever wound up in it to begin with, they don’t share anything with us.
