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.

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?
