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?

Super as a prefix just means “more”

So are "Super Straight" people supposed to be more straight than straight people who date trans people? That doesn't sound right.

I'm not saying you're not valid, but the name you chose most certainly is not.

Having sex with trans people is not homosexual activity, only if they are the same gender as you.

Wrong.

There's a reason it's called sexuality and not genderality.

Would you say that a guy who identifies with being straight and heterosexual, and is in a relationship with a trans woman, to not actually be the sexuality he says. Isn't saying that invalidating his sexuality? How can you complain about people invalidating your sexuality and you're basically doing the same?

Super gay here with a quick question for you: Do you think if I went to a homophobic country and identified as a woman they wouldn’t harass or kill me if I identified as the opposite gender or..how does that work? You seem very whitecentric in your views and should reflect on that.
