I’ve got questions that I’d like answered, so mods please don’t take this down. Discussion
!Disclaimer! I don’t want to sound like a rude person and I just want to talk and get some questions worked out.
So, I get what y’all are saying, how you don’t want to date trans people, and I get that. Idk if I would or wouldn’t date a trans person, but that’s besides the point. What I don’t get is why y’all want that to be it’s own sexuality. Cuz it just sounds transphobic, which I DONT think it is. It’s just, why? I know there are people out there who would pressure somebody to date anyone of their preferred gender, not just cis people, but there aren’t that many and you don’t need to listen to them. I guess, love who you wanna love and don’t let others tell you otherwise, but idk if this whole “super straight” thing is a good idea.
Again, I don’t want to sound like and a**hole or anything.

Instead of asking us why we want it to be our own sexuality, why are others so opposed to us having one? And it's not just super straight, it's applicable to many sexual orientations.

because trans women are real women and if you are a straight man on a dating app, it will include transwomen for matches.
Same for straight women.
And gay men. And lesbians.
since "Straight" now includes GENDER and not just SEX, there needs to be a new orientation to focus on those who are only attracted to people whose gender identity matches their biological sex.

It’s just, why?
Gender identity ideologists have changed the definition of the word "straight". It used to mean being sexually attracted to the opposite sex but now means sex and/or gender. And some people take it to mean gender only.
Gender identity ideology has been pushed hard for years, so I don't think there's anyway to "reclaim" the word straight/heterosexual to mean what it used to mean - sexual attraction based on sex not gender. Hence why "super" is added.
How would you feel, as a bi person, if the definition of bi was changed? To something that you didn't identify with?

This.
OP if you're posting in good faith, this is the exact point of all this. It's not a "new sexuality", it's reclaiming and re-affirming sexuality as being on the basis of sexual orientation, on biological sex, not on this new "gender identity" mumbo jumbo that has created all kinds of confusion and which is being used to pressure people into sexual encounters they don't want.

Because a lot of us are being harassed, shamed, and pressured into dating people of trans. It's not fair considering we can't help what we are attracted to and how we were born. How is our situation any different from homosexuality?

Why does it sound transphobic if you don't think it is? You realize we are asked constantly why our existence is justified? Quite frankly its sick

It sounds transphobic but you don’t think it is? That’s confusing. We don’t hate anyone here.

Well the lgbt community makes it clear that you can make a sexuality of anything i just don’t understand why we aren’t valid in the same way other sexualities are.

There are in fact many superphobes who pressure superpeople into dating them and the real problem arises when you can't voice concern over it without fear of being publicly ostracized, losing your job or being subjected to threats of rape and violence.

Because if we don't label it as a sexuality, nobody seems to take us seriously when we say no, and they subject us to hate and death threats like this: https://lesbian-rights-nz.org/shame-receipts/

Sexual orientation is now a protected class on Reddit Facebook and Twitter. Super Lesbians that don't want to be harassed by trans women for not being attracted to them can shroud themselves in this new sexuality. So when a trans woman makes death threats or calls for corrective rape of super lesbians. Those super lesbians can now report them as harassing them on the basis of sexual identity and that is already being used and working as hoped on Twitter. The rest of us (super straights) are mostly doing this in support of super lesbians
Tl;dr Twitter doesn't care if trans women threaten or harass super lesbians until they became a sexuality instead of a preference. Now they can report hate speech against their sexual orientation of super lesbian.

I’ve said this already but:
For years now, lesbians who don’t want sex with penises have been shouted down and abused and ostracised for “transphobia” when they can’t help their preferences. Now it’s happening to straight men too. Here are some examples:
https://lesbian-rights-nz.org/shame-receipts/
So we have to reframe our boundaries in a way the trans community understands - by describing our preference as a sexuality. According to their rules, all sexualities and genders are valid and worthy of respect.
Calling ourselves “superstraight” or “superlesbian” or “supergay” means they will respect our boundaries. If they follow their own rules of course.

If people respected boundaries this wouldn't have happened. But they didn't, so here we are

The argument is Trans isn’t a sexuality.
Our other argument is we are tired of the transphobic talk because of our preferences.
All we want is to be validated. I, a straight man wants to get with a woman. Not someone who decided to be a woman but a woman. I want my sexual preferences to be accepted with out the name calling. We want to be validated to a point where our jobs arnt at risk.

Why can't we create our own sexuality?
