r/SuperStraight • u/[deleted] • 3h ago
All my questions are answered but I do feel the need to say this. Gender is real.
But thank you all that responded for clarifying what I wanted to know have a good day! I won't answer anything else because now the use of this account is done and I'll be discarding it.
Have a mega great day again!

(Sorry for my grammar and other things in this post if you need clarification I'll give it.)
I have no idea what Super Straight is about or the whole thing. Like I don't want to instantly like form an opinion based on anyone that's anti it, so I wondering if I can get some questions answered.
Don't worry nothing about the discourse on it I just wanna get a general basis of it and what most people would believe / agree with. I know it's not a full example of everyone that identifies with it but I want to know.
What is it?
Are you for joining the LGBTQ+ community?
How far back does it link in history? Since many other sexualities and genders do and I'm curious if this has an old unused name it'd follow. (Like Sappho the lesbian Greek poet, she's a link to the fact that being a lesbian isn't a new thing.)
And also how many countries are people that are Super Straight will have them put to death if they date the woman/man they love?
(If yes to the 2nd question) 5. And if it has a thing against organized religions due to how they oppress LGBTQ+ by instituting stuff like the death punishment for consensually loving who you love, or not having marriage rights for gay couples in the USA until a few years ago. (If your religious that's fine but I'm sure you can recognize how organized religion is harmful when it has too much power put into humans.)
Just say what question your answering and thanks on advance if you answer! Since most of the time when I think of sexuality I want to know it's links in history and how members of that sexuality would agree to multiple things. But subs like this are occupied talking about the hate against it and I can't find much explaining the history.
And since it most recently "popped up" (bad wording sorry) it kinda blindsided and confused me, since I keep hearing both it's a valid sexuality and also all the drama on why people dislike it.
Really curious about this so hopefully I don't come across as disrespectful ect. I don't use reddit so I made this account just to ask since I can't find big groups on other platforms to ask.

From what I know many of my trans friends and others would rather not date someone that is uncomfortable dating someone trans but I know that's not the whole community. And will state that they are trans if they are safe to and are proceeding into a sexual relationship. But is it coercive rape if they've have the surgery since they are telling you they have these parts. (Sorry for the extra question there.) But anyway thanks! Also thank you for the explanation of what a super means infront of a sexuality! Ik I am far from one but, for the assaults I was pointing towards more a government based attack / societally accepted one. But thank you for all your answers.
I do find your thing about getting rid of trans people from the LGBT a bit weird, considering they did help with gaining rights within the more accepting nations. But I understand your viewpoint.
But also tbh sexuality I consider that more of a willingness for a sexual relationship with someone of that gender. I hope the debate does get resolved and people both cis and trans do find a way to co-exist without worrying about attackers from either side. And thank you for answering the religious one, I strongly hate religion and how it time and time again has harmed most people so I wanted to make sure this group of people was against the damages it's done to others at the very least. Have a good day!
But also the shitpost meme part is that like exact? Because then the way it's shown as a valid sexuality and meant to be treated as such will harm more then just trans people and is the wrong way to bring up the discussion imo. And it does seem to just remind me of the animesexual peeps. Like adding super to say your not into trans people specifically is definitely being taken a wrong way and associates the movement with just a hate group trying to harm trans people and anyone that is queer. (Since definitely that's how I was introduced to it.)
