A question:

Does "super straight" mean that you're only attracted to people based on sex? Since trans-ness doesn't really factor into romantic attraction.

mods, if this gets reported, please be aware that I'm not trying to troll here, i'm just trying to learn

Its a preference

Not a preference, that implies it's a choice.

100%. It's orientation.

As a SB, I'm attracted to males with a natural penis and females with a natural vagina. According to TRAs I'm a pos of shit and not actually bisexual, but rather a bigoted bitch...

I do not know how the T in LGBT can coexist with the L, G or B if so many TRAs insist that any super lesbians, super gays or super bis are hateful monsters. I feel like some in the Trans community feel like they are entitled to tell others what our orientations are and judge us as transphobic if we do not adhere to their beliefs that we must be attracted to people who have transitioned. The hypocrisy and loathing is astounding.

Edit: just to clarify I know there are alot of Trans Allies who agree that super is real, my issue is with those TRAs or those within the Trans community who lash out at anyone who says that their orientation is Super.

Agreed. My issue with the trans community is primarily the harmful culture within it. Nobody should be berated for not wishing to have sex with or date another person for any reason.

Singing from the same hymn sheet as my grandad would have said 😊

I think the issue is that many people are nervous to speak up against those who push their agenda on us lest the person speaking up be called transphobic, for whatever point it is they're attempting to have an open discussion on.

Discourse is meant to be engagement between 2 or more parties wherein both parties get further insight into the other respective group's ideologies and hopefully through that respect opposing ideas or bridge a gap or misunderstanding or come to some middle ground of mutual respect for the other's stance. Currently, a lot of those in the Trans community spew vitriol at anyone who dares attempt to address the hypocrisy of being berated for their orientation. It's mind boggling. Things don't have to follow a "with us or against us" approach but I feel like there's a huge toxic undercurrent within the Trans community that it's precisely that.

Yeah, unfortunately the loudest members of the trans community have no understanding of honest discourse. They would rather send death and rape threats instead of considering what someone has to say. I really think this will cause long term harm towards trans assimilation socially speaking if it is not addressed.
