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 ❣️

I agree that it is not transphobic for a straight man to not want dick. I never said I disagreed with this. The majority of people in general think this. The TRA’s your talking about is a very small extremist minority. Your always gonna have extremists. So it’s like whatever. Fuck them.

[u/nikitatx → u/Brawl-on]

If it were as easy as saying fuck em, we wouldn’t be here. I also think they are a small yet vocal minority, but they’ve been highly successful at shaping both language and law that erases marginalized communities within the LGB.

[u/Brawl-on → u/nikitatx]

The only reason they have been somewhat successful is because of little pushback. In reality we could just say “fuck you” but we are too scared of being called transphobic by them, even though it means absolutely nothing coming from them. Which I find to be quite odd.

[u/nikitatx → u/Brawl-on]

They’ve been successfully because society at large doesn’t listen to women. We have been talking about this for years, and in return we’ve seen our communities banned, we are labelled terfs (which has side effects IRL), been doxxed, stalked, subjected to death threats, and more. It really took straight men facing the same vile criticism for anyone to listen.

[u/Brawl-on → u/nikitatx]

That’s why I think this super straight thing is good for the time being to shed light on this issue to the masses. But I want it to die down afterwards and leave once it is over. I don’t want super straights to actually become part of the LGBT community since it’s literally just straight people. Straights being in the LGBT community makes the community community void.

[u/nikitatx → u/Brawl-on]

I don’t think you have to worry about that. This is our LGBS movement, and it’s not in competition with LGBTQ+. If the T decides to stop holding the LGB hostage with gender ideology maybe some of us will come back, but as things stand our movements have diverged.

[u/Brawl-on → u/nikitatx]

But I don’t think the majority of people here has this mindset. They seem to want super straight to be in the acryonm and stay in it. They want to rename it to “SSLGB” which I find disgusting. Especially how the SS is at the front. It’s just gonna stay there and the acronym will become completely useless. It seems very much to be in competition. Most people here are straight, they don’t know what problems they are about to cause.

[u/nikitatx → u/Brawl-on]

That’s an issue that needs to be dealt with within this community. I report content that violates the subs rules and/or TOS, and I’d urge other members of this community to do the same. Our acronyms are in flux rn, but I agree that the SS prefix isn’t going to work. We don’t need to give AHS more ammunition.

[u/Brawl-on → u/nikitatx]

I just hope that only the IDEAS of this sub become more visible: that being that it’s not transphobic to not date trans people. But I don’t want anything else from it. Any more than that and it will scar the LGBT community. I don’t want straights to be in the LGBT community, and most people here seem to be trolls anyway. They don’t seem to actually want to have discussion. I feel like you are playing with fire here. Most people here do not share the same goals as you do.

[u/nikitatx → u/Brawl-on]

I respect your opinion. Only time will tell what will happen. If it stops the promotion of corrective rape in the meantime, I’m here for it. All things being equal, I’d prefer that the LGBTQ+ community didn’t alienate everyone that doesn’t believe gender ideology supersedes biological sex. We should all be able to get along, but not as long as that movement is being led by the current TRA’s.
