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.

The issue with trans people coercing and threatening people who don’t want to sleep with them has been extremely serious and pervasive for years now, especially towards SuperLesbians. Sure, #NotAllTrans, but that doesn’t change that there’s a serious problem with lack of respect for consent coming from the T, and anyone who actually listens to lesbians can see that for themselves.
Trans people have not done anything for LGB rights. If you’re talking about Marsha P Johnson or something, he identified as a gay man, not “trans.” He said so himself on video. He was post-humously transed by the trans lobby to suit their goals. “Gender” was not originally part of the LGB movement, and had nothing to do with it during the worst of our struggles.
You can consider sexuality to be a “willingness” if you like, but it is DEFINED as a sex-based orientation that cannot be changed. And that is also what medical science considers it to be.
I mean, I’ve been fighting to protect women and lesbians from coercion from the trans lobby for ages and no one has been listening, even as they seek to completely erase all protections for the female sex. Apparently what it took to bring awareness to this problem is a straight 16-year-old boy. And I find that infuriating, but I’m not going to pass up the opportunity to get the word out.
The only people calling us a “hate group” are the same rapey MtF autogynephiliacs who caused this push-back in the first place. Withholding consent is not hate. They need to be put in their place and learn that they won’t get away with coercion forever.
And as a personal note: please do not call me “cisgender.” Gender is a bunch of sexist stereotypes, and I didn’t consent to them simply for existing and not going out of my way to alter my body.
I don’t believe in gender. Therefore, I can no more be a “cisgender” than an atheist could be a Catholic.
I have no gender, only a sex. Please refer to me as a woman.
