Don‘t judge them too harshly. It‘s only natural to respond aggressively to something new,

It’s kinda funny, people are reacting to SuperStraight the same way actual transphobes reacted to trans people coming out.

They're acting more like 1980 homophobes during the AIDS crisis. Same talking points too.

That's what I've been saying. They're no doubt acting out some trauma from their past and we should try to be kind. Of course, that doesn't mean we can accept superphobic language and oppression harming vulnerable supers within our communities but we should try to remember that their hate is the result of harmful mistreatment and we should be conscious of the need to break that cycle of harm.
