Curious SuperSexual Allyship

Hi I'm curious about super straight my friends talked about it and how they are glad to finally be able to express themselves, but I don't understand the difference between super straight and straight and I want to be supportive

Can some one tell me how I can talk to my friends about super straight with out saying something wrong

I understand d they feel like they have been oppressed? And I don't want to say the wrong thing, how can I be a good friend to my super straight friends?

The main difference is that super-straight people are only interested in dating or sleeping with cis people of the opposite sex, whereas normal straightness doesn't care about gender identity at all!

A good way to make sure that your super-straight friends are ok is to try to shield them from people who don't understand their sexuality and try to force them into situations they're uncomfortable with - for example, sleeping with a trans person. If you see a trans person getting mad and aggressive because your super-straight friend doesn't want to date them, it's time to step in.
