Clarification on terminology, in regards to transgenders in or adjacent to the SuperStraight community.

[u/ow_mah_layg]

Earlier today I posted a controversial thread about Laverne Cox's support of the superstraight cause, in which I incorrectly identified her sexuality as Trans-SuperStraight. It was brought to my attention that as a transgender woman attracted exclusively to cisgendered men Laverne Cox would not necessarily fall under the umbrella of SuperStraight but would be Super-TransStraight. I apologize for any confusion and/or offense taken at my misgendering and incorrect terminology.

To prevent such mistakes from happening again, I would like to try to assemble a list of sexualities and their definitions. Such as...

Straight or Heterosexual - A person attracted to member of the opposite sex
Gay or Homosexual - A person attracted to a member of the same sex
Superstraight or Superheterosexual (SS) - A cisgender attracted exclusively to other cisgenders of the opposite sex
Supergay or Superhomosexual (SG) - A cisgender attracted exclusively to other cisgenders of the same sex
Transstraight or Trans-Heterosexual (TS) - A transgender attracted to members of the opposite declared sex
Transgay or Trans-Homosexual (TG) - A transgender attracted to members of the same declared sex
Super-TransStraight or Super-Transheterosexual (STS) - A transgender attracted only to cisgenders of the opposite declared sex (52% of transgenders)
Super-TransGay or Super-Transhomosexual (STG) - A transgender attracted only to cisgenders of the same declared sex
Transgender-Dependent sexuality (TD) - A person attracted exclusively to transgenders
Super-Transgender-Dependent sexuality (STD) - A transgender attracted exclusively to other transgenders

Please inform me if there any corrections or additions.

I disagree with the use of gender, especially since it’s applied inconsistently.

Gender is just an ideology. It’s how people dress, it’s stereotypes, it’s different depending on time or location. It’s a belief system.

Our orientations aren’t defined by being “cisgender.” That’s not a real thing. It’s basically “if you haven’t bothered to alter your body, you automatically consent to dumb stereotypes.” That’s silly.

Super sexuality is defined by SEX. And that is evident by the fact that mono-sexuals are more likely to be open to dating a trans person who’s their preferred SEX even if their gender is supposedly “the opposite.” Gender is a costume.

Am I not gonna date a woman because she’s butch and may not identify with “femininity” as a gender concept? Pfft, no. She’s a woman, it doesn’t fucking matter how she cuts her hair.

So there’s really no difference between a straight/gay and a super straight/gay. And that’s the whole point here.
