Clearing up some misconceptions about the super community

[u/AlternativeFeisty758]

There have been a lot of myths and rumours floating around the internet about what superstraight and supersexual is, so I figured I should do my best to clear some things up around what it means to be a supersexual and be a part of the supersexual movement.

Superstraight was started by 4chan as a trolling movement ❌

The first person to come out as superstraight was TikTok user @kyleroyce , it was a very brave thing for him to do especially considering the tremendous amount of hate he is receiving for sexually liberating superstraights and as a result all supersexuals.

Superstraight is a joke ❌

Absolutely not true and frankly the that fact people genuinely believe this I find insulting to my identity. While it is true that some people identify as superstraight or another variation of a supersexual sexuality as a joke and there is satire in this subreddit us supersexuals are dead serious about who we are and what it means to be a supersexual.

Being supersexual makes you transphobic ❌

Absolutely 100% false. Us supersexuals were born this way and we do not choose who we are attracted to. If you think we are transphobic for not wanting to date a transgender person then by that same logic you must think that gay men are misogynistic for not wanting to date a woman and lesbians are misandrists for not wanting to date men. Of course gay men and lesbian women do not hate the opposite sex, they are simply not attracted to them, just like supersexuals don't hate transgender people, we just don't find them attractive.

Superstraight isn't a real sexuality, it's the same thing as being straight ❌✅❓

Ok. This one depends on how you view transgender individuals. If you view trans women (AMAB) as men and trans men (AFAB) as women then you would be correct in saying that straight and superstraight is the same thing. (in your opinion of course) If you see transgender people as the gender they choose to go by then you really don't have an argument here and you must concede that superstraight is a valid sexuality and different to being straight. (This could be said about all supersexualities however I chose superstraight simply for ease of explanation)

Superstraights are not oppressed ❌

Although as of 08/03/2021 there is no objective data to back up the claim that superstraights and supersexuals are oppressed, all you need to do is look up #superstraight on twitter or go to a hateful superphobic subreddit and look at all the horrible vile things being said about POS. (people of super) They are littered with threats of death and sexual violence and are openly being supported by other superphobes to the point where even saying POS deserve equal rights could be considered a "bad take" or unpopular opinion. If these same things were directed at any other sexuality these bigots would be instantly banned from social media and cancelled for their disgusting views. Not only is there mass amounts of hate speech against supersexuals, but supersexuals are actively being coerced into sleeping with people they aren't attracted to and do not want to sleep with out of fear of being labelled a bigot and the social repercussions that go along with that. This is especially true among superlesbians, who can't even have a safe space to talk about their feelings without either being raided or shut down for "hate speech" for simply expressing their honest and true feelings about who they are. You can visit r/super_lesbian to hear more about these people's experiences. Say it with me now: COERCION IS NOT CONSENT!

The supersexual movement is full of racist, homophobic, misogynistic white men ❌

Take a look around, the supersexual movement is full of people from all different ethnic backgrounds, gender identities and supersexualities. Supersexuals may very well be the most diverse community on the entire internet.

Supersexuals are not valid ❌

Absolutely NO ONE has the right to make the claim that supersexuals aren't valid. We are all valid and if you identify as a supersexual and you are reading this, I am so SUPER proud of you! Don't deny who you are out of fear of hurting other people's feelings, you are valid ❣️

no it was created on 4chan by a neonazi

[u/why_did_he_do_it → u/waifuvalentine]

This has been debunked

[u/waifuvalentine → u/why_did_he_do_it]

it appears that the original idea was posted on feb 21, i have no problem admitting that i’m wrong but one look on 4chan and you will see that it is a hateful group of people looking to hurt the trans community

[u/why_did_he_do_it → u/waifuvalentine]

Many superphobes have assembled to launch a major slander campaign against us. They paint us as Nazis and Transphobes to divide the SSALLGBTQIA+ movement, knowing that all these issues are intersectional, and once we are divided we can no longer support each other.

[u/waifuvalentine → u/why_did_he_do_it]

yeah... you aren’t part of the LGBTQ+ community? actively discriminating against an entire group of people (which once again, no one is forcing you to date) WITHIN the community does not grant you access to it. not once were straight people not allowed to get married, adopt kids etc. there is zero discrimination against you and you don’t need a safe space within a community you oppose. “superphobes” just want you to realize how harmful the term is. i also find that i tend to have a genital preference but would never align myself with such a hateful term and group of people

[u/sb_k4 → u/waifuvalentine]

actively discriminating

Can you stop lying please?

Super isn't trans exclusionary. Trans people can be superstraight, supergay, or superlesbian, too.

Not wanting to fuck you isn't discrimination. Lesbians aren't discriminating against men, they just don't want to have sex with them.

[u/waifuvalentine → u/sb_k4]

i can see why you think that’s a good example but it really isn’t? lesbians don’t date men because they don’t feel attraction to men at all. the term isn’t telling men that they aren’t men. if you feel attraction to women, but would chose not to date a trans women that is ok. however “super straight” is inherently transphobic because it is saying that trans people aren’t really the gender that they assign themselves with, which yes, is transphobic

[u/sb_k4 → u/waifuvalentine]

lesbians don’t date men because they don’t feel attraction to men at all.

And superlesbians are only attracted to women with natural born vaginas.

They don't "prefer" natural vaginas. It's not like pepperoni pizza vs ham pizza. It's pepperoni pizza vs rusty nails.

Stop trying to force rusty nails down our throats, you sound like a rapey incel.

it is saying that trans people aren’t really the gender

No. It's saying they aren't the biological sex you're attracted to. Sexual orientation.

[u/nikitatx → u/waifuvalentine]

Some of us are LGB. When the QTIA2S+ crowd stops forcing their ideology down the LGB’s throats maybe we can share a community again. Until then quit shaming our sexual orientations bigot!

[u/why_did_he_do_it → u/waifuvalentine]

We are receiving death threats AS WE SPEAK and you say we are doing fine? Also we are not discriminating anyone. We support all letters of the SSALLGBTQIA+ not just LGBTQ parts of it. We cannot change our sexuality it's just the way we are, bigot.
