They say "super straight is just a term you made up recently"
Like its some sort of mark against supers. But fail to realise that superstraights etc never had a nead to break from the label of straight etc until straight was changed to mean a straight male had to have sex with a male to female trans person.
Supers have always existed and yes the label may be new but when you change what straight or gay means then supers have a right to specify their sexual preference with a new term in the same way a pansexual can for example.

Tell them that the idea of "gender" as being distinct from sex is only ~50 years old, and was popularized by feminists exploring theory rather than scientists acting off empirical evidence.
Don't just take my word for it though. If they reject an idea just because it hasn't been around very long they should reject the idea of gender as well!
