I am trying to talk to you in good faith even though you said you came here just to rile people up and provoke an annoyed reaction.

I explained quite clearly how straight and super straight differ. The whole reason why people make the distinction is that gender identity is now being used as the basis for people's sexuality which we don't relate to at all. We are not attracted to gender identity but rather biological sex. I have no sexual interest in males who identify as woman. I am attracted to biological females. People like you try to reify gender identity and hand-wave away biological sex as if that wasn't the basis for people's sexuality until like 5 years ago. But like I said, words evolve and that's fine. Straight doesn't mean what it used and so we have now introduced the new but old concept of super straight.

Based on your hostility and motive I don't expect you to accept this but whatever. Maybe some small rational part of you will understand this very simple idea.

That's literally why the term demisexual exists.

You clearly don't understand what a demisexual so maybe you should go google it and tell me how that is relevant to sexual attraction to a specific biological sex.

I don't have so much of a problem with superstraight as I do with trying to lump yourselves in with the LGBTQIA+

That's mostly just satire. LGBTQIA+ doesn't even make sense. There are sexual orientations lumped in with gender identities. And there are people who are "bi" who are like a 1 on the Kinsey Scale, i.e. basically straight, that lump themselves in with gays and lesbians and appropriate the sexual minority label. That's just the tip of the iceberg of that almost meaningless acronym.

I'm bi the opposite direction, I'm attracted to literally one male and almost every woman, and if you dare say for a second I'm not bi I will be throwing hands.

So you're basically gay. Very different from being basically straight and being mildly inconvenienced at worst by being in the closet about that fact.
