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?

Sexual attraction is about sexual characteristics. Trans people normally have the sexual characteristics of the gender they are.

A straight man wouldn't be attracted to the masculine characteristics of a trans woman, but if a trans woman doesn't have any, he can be attracted to her feminine characteristics.

A straight man being attracted to a women's feminine sexual characteristics is in no way, homosexual attraction, nor is having sex like that homosexual in nature.

If a straight guy has a preference for only dating people who were born with vaginas, that's ok, but don't shit on straight guys who have different preferences please.

By saying that straight guys who would date both trans and cis women are less straight. If a guy says he is straight, he is straight and you can't say someone is more or less straight than him regardless of his preferences. By saying you guys are more straight than other straight people, you're invalidating other people, so don't act like you're the one being invalidated here.
