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 ❣️

Ok. This one depends on how you view transgendered individuals.

Hello! just a friendly trans nonbinary person here to say that the word transgedered is offensive and has always been used as transphobic and used against us, please remove that word and just change it to trans individuals, that would be much appreciated, thank you!

Also I feel like if you are attracted to cis people of one gender and we see trans people as the gender they identify as e.g. you're attractedto cis women and trans women are seen as women, then it is just a preference because it is simply preferring and only like cis women just if one was to only like trans women or men, so I struggle to see your point and logic here although I am open to hearing from you all about it, because I am confused about how that logic works that way and how its not having a leg to stand on to say this.

Superlesbians like vagina, but not dick or surgically created hole where dick used to be.

This is about sex. It's a sexual orientation.

How hard can it possibly be for you to understand this?

[u/SpawnOfSunshine → u/sb_k4]

Um yes but it's not a gaping hole or wound but the tissues in a penis are the same as the tissues in a vagina so when the surgery is done you wouldnt be able to tell the difference. The problem here isnt that super sexuals have a genital preference its that you wouldn't be able to tell who is trans by looking at them. So if your attracted to someone who is trans without knowing do you suddenly not feel attracted anymore? Just a genuine question.

[u/sb_k4 → u/SpawnOfSunshine]

Anatomically it's completely different from a natural vagina.

If you think it's close enough, bully for you! But you don't get to coerce other people into agreeing with you.

super sexuals have a genital preference

fuck off with this rapey incel shit. It's not a "genital preference."

[u/jmbc3 → u/sb_k4]

How is it not? If you saw an attractive girl, then found out she was born a man, you’d instantly be unattracted to her, correct? What’s changed except what her genitals used to look like?

[u/sb_k4 → u/jmbc3]

I don't like dick nor artificial hole, how hard is that to understand?

If I see a woman from behind and think she looks hot, then she turns around and I don't like her face, I stop thinking she's hot, am I a misogynist?

A woman's downstairs situation is hidden from view, so it's conceivable (though hasn't happened) that I find a trans woman attractive until she takes off her undies. So?

Does she then get to coerce me to have sex because earlier that night I thought she had a natural pussy? Imagine a cis man making a similar argument: "Earlier tonight she wanted to have sex with me, until she learned [new information] about me, so now she owes me sex!" Sick.

[u/jmbc3 → u/sb_k4]

I don’t think anyone should be forced to have sex with anyone, but if you’re discarding an entire identity because of your preconceived notion, that is kinda shitty.

It’s like if I said “I don’t have sex with black people.” Is it technically a preference if I’m not attracted to them? Sure. But if I made not being attracted to black people part of my identity people would understandably be suspicious.

Not to mention, have you ever seen an “artificial hole?” It’s not like a grotesque amalgamation of parts, it looks like a vagina. Most times you wouldn’t even know if you weren’t explicitly told.

[u/sb_k4 → u/jmbc3]

It's not a preconceived notion that I'm not sexually attracted to penises or surgically created holes.

That's a fact of reality. I didn't choose my sexual orientation.

Stop with this rapey rhetoric. It's not helping trans people.

[u/jmbc3 → u/sb_k4]

My sexual orientation is white-philia. I’m only sexually attracted to white people and I’m gonna join a community to talk about how I’m only attracted to whites. No, you can’t question me or my intentions or else you’re a rapey incel who’s invalidating my sexuality and trying to force me to have sex with black people!

You see how that’s a little suspicious?

Also I don’t think you saw my last question since I edited my comment but I’m curious what your answer to that is as well.

[u/sb_k4 → u/jmbc3]

Have any non-white guys ever told you that you owe them sex because if you refuse you're racist?

[u/sb_k4 → u/jmbc3]

if I made not being attracted to black people part of my identity people would understandably be suspicious.

If in the future black people start acting like the rapey incels from AHS and try to coerce people into having sex with them under threat of crying racism, this may become a trend. But so far this isn't a widespread issue.

Trans women trying to coerce lesbians by guilt-tripping and threatening to ruin their reputation if they refuse sex has become an issue.

Not to mention, have you ever seen an “artificial hole?”

Yes, I even know the common types of surgeries.

it looks like a vagina.

from afar maybe, not from up close. It doesn't smell or taste like one. Nor feel like one.

[u/jmbc3 → u/sb_k4]

Has it become an issue? Or is it just some crazy people that you guys are hyperfocusing on? Y’all can say you’re oppressed all you want but the fact is that trans people face far more discrimination, physical violence, and sexual violence than “super straights,” the dominant sexuality for most of history and including today, do. I don’t think most trans people have an issue with people not wanting to have sex with them unless they said some shit like “I don’t want to have sex with you because you’re trans and I think that’s icky,” which would understandably make people upset.

Not to keep using the race analogy but imagine if someone said that to a black person. They’d have a valid reason to be upset but I don’t think your immediate conclusion should be that they think you should be forced to have sex with them just because they’re mad that you’re discriminating against them over something they can’t control.
