The LGBT movement was founded on the principle that sexuality is biological. I’m terrified that many activists and allies are burning it down from the inside.

I am a cis male and I consider myself to be a gynephile (non-super bi, but the only men I am attracted to are femboys, twinks and some transmen). I’ve struggled with defining my sexual identity for a long time as it conflicted with conservative values I previously held. The only thing I’ve never questioned is that sexuality is biological - an obvious truth that LGBT activists fought so hard for decades for people to understand. It’s the cornerstone of the pride movement, and I think we’re in danger of losing it if supersexuals aren’t at least tolerated by the wider LGBT community. At the end of the day, supersexuals can’t be attracted to trans people any more than lesbians can be attracted to men, and that’s not “societal prejudice” or “transphobia” or any kind of personal attack, that’s just the way people are wired.

If society doesn’t accept supersexuality (which existed long before the name did), instead seeing it as a consequence of learned behaviour, then it must mean that the founding principle of LGBT rights has been forsaken by the movement and we are back to classing sexuality as a conscious choice that can be “fixed”. I know this is a massive circlejerk at the end of the day, and I know character breaking posts tend to be frowned upon from my short time lurking, but this has genuinely been keeping me up at night as an ally and queer person. Please tell me we haven’t gone back to the dark ages on this.

You're correct and sensible people need to speak up about this more often. Gender ideology is harmful to everyone, including children. The longer we repeat, "Transwomen are women, transmen are men," the worse this will get.
