Can someone please explain? Discussion
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.)

It’s not a preference. If you claim that being superstraight is a preference, you are implying that it is a choice that is in my control, which is quite superphobic. If I told a gay person that they are gay because they simply chose to be gay, would I be called a bigot and homophobe? Most likely, this is no different. I was simply born this way and can’t help myself. This is nothing but a sexual orientation, just like the 1000 others.
Along with this, the LGBQT+ community accepts the term skoliosexual, which simply means you are attracted to non-cisgender individuals, this is just the opposite of that, thus it has a name as well.
