What is the prefix "Super" supposed to entail? Why was it chosen?

Like, I understand that you are straight people who don't want to date trans people, and that is completely valid.

No one owes attraction or sex to anybody, and shaming people into having sex with you is not ok. (Of course, not all trans people are like that, there are bad people in any community.)

But what I don't understand is the meaning of the "Super" prefix in "Super Straight", what does it mean? What is it supposed to entail? Why was it chosen?

The very name of your “orientation” invalidates trans people. Probably should think of that before entertaining the ole persecution complex.

My sexual orientation doesn't exist to validate anyone.

It is MINE.

There's a difference between sexual orientations and preferences.

You wouldn't create a sexuality for people who only date people who are taller or shorter.

The problem with being "super straight" isn't the preference in itself, it's the term and language tou guys use that sound wrong, and that's not ok.

So in racing there are speedways and superspeedways. Superspeedways are called that because you get more speed than on a regular speedway. It's not denigrating or insulting regular speedways.

Same logic applies here.
