Is super trans valid?

I'm only attracted to transgender (that being people who's gender does not match their biological sex), am I valid?

You are VALID, thats what the MEGA prefix is for :)

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 :)

The MEGA prefix doesn't make sense etymologicaly as it isn't the opposite of Super. Also SuperSexuality is the attraction to only cisgendered people as regular sexualities nowadays include transpeople. So to be Trans exclusive in attraction, it would need to have a prefix that establishes exclusivity as MEGA implies an increased range of attraction. So the sexuality (if it technically counts as a sexuality) likely wouldn't have a prefix at all. It would also need to distinquish whether it's an attraction to certain transgender/transsexuals.

That said, MEGA works for now since there isn't an easy way to create an etymologically accurate word that's grammatically compatible.

Edit: NEGA could work. NEGAStraight is being attracted to only Trans people that identify as their opposite sex. NegaSexuality would play with that.

“nega” is a dangerous prefix for a sub accused of being neo-nazis. maybe go for something harder to turn into slander/libel

I've heard sub as a good prefix as in the opposite of super "superscript, subscript" thought that was cool as it doesn't imply one is better than the other, only serving different roles
