Superstraight is trending on twitter. No I hadn't either.

Its a subcategory of straight that means that straight people can now be included in the lgbtqi+ categories. Or something. Hooray! Fight for my superstraight rights too Stonewall!. Or something

Maybe you're superfluid Sheldon?

Liquorishtoffee · 06/03/2021 17:45

Asexual a romantic? Eh?

@jellybe

Disclaimer I've not read the whole thread yet but I did enjoy this tweet replying to the super straight post. That they can't see the irony that they get to say who is part of LGBTQ+ but women are t allowed to define what a women is = adult human female.
I will have to try and find it so I can read the responses.

I am so glad we are now superwomen

Do we have to share a flag with supermen or do we get our own?

Supercelibate polly

I’m not sure about fluid. Picky maybe.

SuperPi.

Like Nessa but not quite. What’s recurring?

MichelleofzeResistance · 06/03/2021 17:54

Hm. Possibly those telling me I was either cis or trans with an as yet unlabelled identity knew more than I did.

It reminds me rather of the whole cis debate, where labels are something absolutely personal and to be self defined and respected and never questioned, and language is something to be intensely sensitive about with others - and then when you say ok, that's fine, just please apply to me too the exact same values you're requiring of me, no, that's somehow not how it works. Its unsurprising people will get annoyed at an unfair social contract.

The superstraight/gay/lesbian hashtags have been a lot of fun today. Yes it stemmed from a tiktok but aside from the laughs it seems to have provided many people with the chance to point out that attraction based on a persons natal sex is not transphobic and is entirely reasonable

Datun · 06/03/2021 18:05

SuperStraight makes a lot of sense. Attraction to opposite sex based on anatomy? Super Lesbian, etc?

Perfectly reasonable. And a very useful, er, identity. Certainly describes my inner feeling.

I'm in! Or is it out?

InterfectoremVulpes · 06/03/2021 18:06

How can I be superspeshul if everyone is superspeshul

hmphhhhh

Outbutnotoutout · 06/03/2021 18:09

@Numicon

I've just seen someone suggest putting superstraight as their gender ID on the census!
YES!!!!!!!!!
McDuffy · 06/03/2021 18:12

Enjoyed that little trip over, thanks for the tip off.
So much shrieking!

Datun · 06/03/2021 18:22

I mean there's no official body who decides what letters of the alphabet get added, is there? You get Q, and I, and A and no-one really knows what that means. S can easily be added.

PurpleHoodie · 06/03/2021 18:27

You are Super ++ Datun Grin

I’m Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious.

If you say it loud enough you’ll always sound precocious.

So that’s nice.

HPFA · 06/03/2021 18:38

Who's behind this though? These things don't usually erupt out of nowhere.

The Superstraight Reddit is hilarious although someone has posted a really nasty and genuinely transphobic comment on there. They're not really part of the Superstraight community.

Pronouns are dumdiddleiddleiddledumdiddle/I

Or dumdiddleiddleiddledumdiddle/they?

HPFA · 06/03/2021 18:45

I've just found my favourite comment on the Superstraight Reddit.

Like i said in another post, instead of just spoutin useless comments like "you're a bigot" and "you're a superphobe" why don't you try and counteract my arguments?

Really irritating that isn't it?

littlbrowndog · 06/03/2021 18:48

It was a guy on tictoc

AfternoonToffee · 06/03/2021 18:48

That was a fun look through Twitter, though obviously it has now put transpeople in grave danger apparently.

I am thinking that SuperGay could make for a good superhero.

PrawnofthePatriarchy · 06/03/2021 18:49

This tweet puts it rather well:

I'm straight BECAUSE I dont fancy men, whether theyre in jeans or dresses.

I dont care what wrapping paper the present comes wrapped in, if I dont want the present.

Mockolate · 06/03/2021 18:52

I don't think that's serious, surely for all those thinking it is?!
I hope not anyway.
Just reads like another trolling trans people parody thing.
