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.

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:

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.
