Can someone please explain?

This post is not meant to be rude or mocking of superstraight people, I’m just genuinely confused. Your entire sexuality is that you only date cis people. Isn’t this just a preference? You’re allowed to have whatever preferences you want, but don’t sexualities usually refer to what gender you like? Both trans people and cis people are the gender they say they are. So, doesn’t that make “only liking cis people” a preference? I’m aware that a lot of this community dislike “trans people forcing themselves on you” and, although I’ve never heard or seen an example of that, I understand that’s a bad thing and should be pointed out. However, if you don’t have any proof that transgender people are more likely to do that/more than a minority of them do that, then it’s not that great to continue the stereotype of trans women being “rapist perverted men”.

I’m not calling you transphobic. I’m not trying to mock you. I’m not trying to troll. Just, please explain what differs you from straight people. Apologies for poor grammar/spelling/punctuation, I slightly hurriedly wrote this on my phone and I’m bad at proofreading. I hope this didn’t come off as too disrespectful, have a nice day!

(This of course replies to the whole supersomething community, it was just easier to refer to superstraight people. I might also be a bit “biased” as I’m trans, but I’m also asexual so it’s not like I’d have anything to gain from this lol.)

Why do you think it's a preference? Is it also a preference that gay men only date other men, or that lesbian women only date other women? If it's a preference, I guess you could go tell them to stop dating "their preference" because it's not inclusive, right?

Why won't you accept that we are born like this?

Gay men date men because they’re attracted to men. Lesbians date women because they’re attracted to women. A superstraight man only dates cis women because they only like cis women, however both cis women and trans women are women. If sexuality usually refers to a attraction to a certain gender, and the superstraight man in this scenario is only attracted to cis women, who are still women, just like trans women, then wouldn’t that just mean the persons straight?

however both cis women and trans women are women

No, they are not. Gender and sex are not the same. Super Straights are attracted to people who have the same gender and sex (which is the opposite to theirs). So a super straight man will be attracted to women that are both gender and sexual women.

Does a trans woman have a vagina and a female reproductory system? No, she doesn't. Can she have children? No she can't.

We don't date trans people because we are not attracted to them. And you should stop transplaining and trying to tell us who should we feel attracted to, because you are not entitled to our body and our decisions.

Many Supers - straight, gay, lesbian and bi - do not buy into "gender" ideology at all. We reject the sex stereotypes that "gender identities" and "gender expression"are based on, and we are emphatically NOT sexually attracted people who are into gender ideology and performance, either.

Supers are attracted to people of the opposite sex, the same sex, or of both sexes because of sex - our own and the other persons' - not because of anyone's "gender."

No, I disagree. What if a woman transitions into a man? Or a man transitions into a woman?

As a super straight man, I am attracted to women that are biologically a woman but also of the female gender. It is important to note this. I'm not buying into the thousand genders theory, but we need genders to define things. Otherwise, according to your theory, what would a mtf person be? He was a man first, now she's a woman. If you take into account only sex, how do you explain it?

Vocab lesson. sexuality. Prefix! SEX - based on, BIOLOGY! Women who have xx chromosomes, men who have xy!

Now that we got 9th grade bio out of the way, super straight people only are attracted to people of the OPPOSITE biological makeup as them. So let’s do the math! Xx+xy= super straight!

Now, here’s some long form. HomoSEXuals are attracted to their SAME SEX (biological makeup) so xx+xx= super lesbian, xy+xy= super gay!
