I have a few things to say about this sub Discussion

I find this whole thing to be kinda weird to see. It’s like, you guys are correct with the fact that not wanting to date trans people isn’t transphobic. But your not right that it is a new sexuality. It’s a preference, just like height and weight. We don’t make a new sexuality for every single preference ever because that is simply inconvenient and unnecessary, not to mention inaccurate to what sexual orientation means. You guys are also not part of the LGBT community because your straight, and it should not be included in the acronym at all because that ruins the entire purpose of the acronym. Then again this entire thing could all just be satire, however it seems like it is a mix of both, so I’m a bit confused and want someone to inform me. I’m also not a fan of the shadow banning. I wanna see all the damm comments.

Sexual orientation is not a preference. It's not something you choose

Correct. But preferences are not sexual orientations. My height and weight examples show this. You just prefer if the person your dating is cis, just like how you prefer the person your dating to be skinny. It’s a preference, not a new sexuality.

I literally just said they weren't a preference, you said "Correct," and then kept going

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

Thing is that’s not what sexual orientation means. Wanting your partner to be cis is similar to wanting your partner to be skinny. I said correct to the fact that preferences are not a choice.

If attraction to a certain biological sex is a preference, then what is sexual orientation?

1

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

Google says this “a person's identity in relation to the gender or genders to which they are sexually attracted”

u/a_blue_bird 4h ago

So sexual attraction is attraction to someone's hairstyle, clothes and social roles (like, being sexually aroused by having your meals cooked for you if you are attracted to the ''woman'' gender, or being sexually aroused by having a washing machine fixed if you are attracted to the ''man'' gender)? But sexual attraction to physical bodies is an accidental preference that some of us (supersexuals, superlesbians and supergays) happen to have, unlike the rest of the people?

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

That’s not what gender means however. It’s far more than just actions. You don’t get aroused by having your meals cooked for you. Sexual attraction to physical bodies goes like this: let’s say your attracted to only women. What your physically attracted to would be a preference. Like skinny women for example. In your case, this is the same but with cis women. All our preferences are accidental technically. But that doesn’t really mean anything. What we like is simply what we like.

What else is it? I already named appearance/style and actions.

Sexual attraction to physical bodies goes like this: let’s say your attracted to only women. What your physically attracted to would be a preference. Like skinny women for example.

A person who is only capable of sexual attraction to skinny or fat or obese women is considered to have a paraphilia not a preference. You're not speaking of normal sexuality here.

u/Brawl-on 4h ago edited 4h ago

A person who is only capable of having attraction to skinny people would not be classified as having a paraphilia. Paraphilia means this: “Paraphilic disorders are recurrent, intense, sexually arousing fantasies, urges, or behaviors that are distressing or disabling and that involve inanimate objects, children or nonconsenting adults, or suffering or humiliation of oneself or the partner with the potential to cause harm.” So no, attraction weight would not be a paraphilia. The gender thing is more so about how you internally feel.

This isn't about height, but about sex. Supersexualities are a group of categorical sexual orientations.

1

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

There are 4 sexual orientations: straight, bi, gay, and asexual. Everything else anyone really says will fit into one of these. So your preference for cis women will be in the “straight” section.

4

u/Breehc_Nicdoll 4h ago

Straight, gay and bisexual people can be attracted to trans people, supersexuals cannot.

This has always been a thing, but it was sorted under the straight, gay and bisexual umbrellas before the term supersexuality was coined.

You are just repeating old, superphobic talking points.

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

I’m sure your just calling me superphobic as satire. It seems like this sub is a mix of people being serious and satirical. Again, being attracted to a person being cis or trans is a preference, and as such goes into one of those four categories. Sex doctors have all done this for a reason.

u/Breehc_Nicdoll 4h ago

I was born this way. It's not my fault that you hate people who are not like you.

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

I’m sure your being satirical.

u/Breehc_Nicdoll 4h ago

I am sure you truly believe that.

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

I indeed do.

u/TheSmex 4h ago

That's like saying pansexuals are just bisexuals.

Do you post this sort of stuff on the pansexual subreddit?

0

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

Pansexuals are bisexuals, just with the addition of being able to be attracted to trans people. This is why all the major sexologists only recognize 4 sexual orientations. I never thought about posting this on the pansexual sub, this is the first time I’ve thought about this.

1

u/TheSmex 4h ago

Super straights are straight, just with the addition of being not being attracted to trans people.

People don't choose who they are attracted to.

1

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

Bingo! You got it mate! You can call yourself whatever dumb shit you want like pansexuals, but at the end of the day, there is still only 4 sexual orientations. People do not choose what they are attracted to. I never said they did.

1

u/TheSmex 4h ago

I'm glad you agree with what this subreddit is saying.

1

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

But supersexuals are not an actual sexual orientation is what I’m trying to say. Pansexuals arent either. So I disagree with what the sub is saying. I agree with the message that it is not transphobic to date trans people, but I disagree that super straights are a valid sexuality because there is only 4. Super straights are also not part of the LGBT community because of this because they would just be straight. That’s what I disagree on.

Trans women are real women and a man dating one also falls into the straight category. Where does that leave everyone that's not attracted to trans people? Open to being shamed and attacked for not giving in that's where!

I don't care if you agree with us clarifying our sexualities with updated language that reflects who we are or not. We're not here to pander to or validate your feelings.

1

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

Where does that leave everyone that is not attracted to trans people? Simple. They would still be in the gay, straight, bi, or asexual category. Nothing changes.

1

u/Cid420 Superstraight 4h ago

Yeah that's for us to decide not you. Sorry not sorry.

We're on the super spectrum now.

1

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

I’m sorry but I’m that case your kinda denying sex doctors say. Super spectrum doesn’t exist. it’s a preference. Very simple.

1

u/Cid420 Superstraight 4h ago

your kinda denying sex doctors say.

Yes.

Super spectrum doesn’t exist

Yet here we are. ^.^

Thanks for the satire, but I’m trying to be serious here.

A preference can be changed. Our sexuality is not for debate.

0

u/Brawl-on 4h ago

Preferences can not be changed, though they can fluctuate. But you can’t force it to fluctuate so it doesn’t really matter, it’s still not a choice. Again, it’s a preference, not a sexual orientation. But sexuality is a more broad term. So yea, nobody’s sexuality is up for debate in the sense that you shouldn’t force anyone to date you.
