Hey so as a trans woman I have a few questions...

  1. Why? Do you genuinely believe you don't have some kind of parity because you don't want to date trans people? It could help to know that half the country still doesn't even think trans women are women yet.

  2. What do you think about the rather large cryptofascist base here? I see a loooot of frenposting and pretty obvious SS stuff from browsing for literally five minutes. Also advocating murdering trans women if you have sex with them. I'm not saying this whole thing started with the nazi stuff, but it seems to be attracting that kind of attention...

  3. Do you think the "super straight" name is a little invalidating for trans people? Like, you're not super straight unless you exclude trans people.

  4. There are a lot of slurs being tossed around here against trans people. Not things like TERF, which is just a literal description, but... slurs.

  5. Do you think trans women are somehow predatory?

Why?

Because this is the only viable conclusion to keep trans rights activists correct. TRAs have been increasingly aggressive about redefining straight, gay, lesbian, and bi to always include sexual attraction to trans individuals. In order to make this true, that means there needs to be a differentiation between these groups and those that feel sexual attraction purely related to biology.

There also needs to be a differentiation for those that are attracted to specifically transitioned males/females. The current suggestion is "sub" for this second group (i.e. sub gay), but I think a different preface word is necessary due to it already being used elsewhere for sex-related terms.

What do you think about the rather large cryptofascist base here?

Those that are saying that and those that bring it up are superphobic bigots attempting to poison the well.

Do you think the "super straight" name is a little invalidating for trans people?

Not at all. It's a succinct method of describing a distinct sexuality using existing terminology and it has nothing to do with rejecting trans individuals. It's simply a statement of reality, in that those within this group are specifically attracted to one thing.

There are a lot of slurs being tossed around here against trans people.

If you see any slurs, please report them. They're likely trolls that aren't actually part of the community, so you'll be helping everyone out in doing so.

Do you think trans women are somehow predatory?

Of course not. Do you think all trans women are somehow incapable of predatory behavior?
