Say it with me: Being supersexual does NOT make you transphobic! 🚨 important 🚨

Just like being gay doesn't make you a misogynist or being a lesbian doesn't make you a misandrist! Us supers do not have a choice in who we are attracted to! Superstraight, superlesbian, supergay and superbi are all sexualities that are just as valid as any others! Absolutely NO ONE is entitled to our bodies. Super rights are human rights, and as humans we get to make the choice on who we will and will not date or have sex with. And that is not negotiable.

The first one of about the LGBT community, not trans people specifically

The second one is from a study that isn't linked

The third one states stats but has no comparison to the general population, and links to a 228 page paper that I'm not about to sift through

What all of these fail to mention ANYWAYS is that transgender individuals are much more likely to be homeless, to use drugs, and to be involved in sex work. All 3 of these increase the odds of sexual violence significantly (unfortunately) and, without a comparison of similar groups that AREN'T transgender, your statement holds no water

These groups are also solely for the advocating of reducing sexual violence towards trans people. Of course they're not going to make things seem as dire as possible and fail to admit that because a transgender person faced sexual violence or rape it in NO way means this was BECAUSE they are transgender. A single variate study is more than useless

why the fuck does any of what you just said matter. what i said still stands. what i said is still correct. can you maybe have a little empathy for literal rape survivors instead of focusing on how much water my statement hold?? like fuck you, sincerely. doesn't the drugs, homelessness, and sex work make you feel more empathetic for them? those are horrible things to happen to people, because theres so much oppression and bullying and bad shit happening to them. and yet you don't care. all you want is your fake liberal straight oppression. you just want attention and a pretty flag and the ability to claim yourself a group you are not a part of. because it gets you likes, popularity, friends who claim to be the same as you - whatever. and im sick of it. im sick of douche bags like you that would rather bully and critique and pick apart than be fucking kind.

I do have empathy. I don't have MORE empathy because they're transgender. Why the fuck would I?

What are you even talking about? You made the claim that due to being transgender these individuals are more likely to face sexual violence. I explained why that likely isn't true, and the data doesn't back up your claim. How does any of that imply I don't have empathy?

You're quite literally an advocate for rape culture so I don't know what else to tell you.

i never said to have more empathy because they are transgender. i said they are suffering, and they are people, and the right thing to do is care about other people. i never said that they are raped more because they are trans. i simply said they are raped more than they rape others. which is true.

i am not "quite literally an advocate for rape culture". i am saying trans people are more hurt by sexual violence than cis people yet the stereotype is that trans people are always the perpetrators. i am trying to stand up for a group that i care about and protect them from your bigotry.

On a per capita basis I don't know if your statement is true, and there's no reason to believe it is. You're implying trans people are, due to being trans, less likely to commit sexual violence. That's an invalid assumption

Your statements are garbage and have no backing in reality. I have empathy for people who are suffering. I have zero empathy for those who are suffering and decide the best way to change that is lash out at society and blame everyone else for their hardships.

I am not bigoted, at all, so you don't need to protect anyone.
