Superstraight

[Xanthangum]

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

A bunch of homophobic straight men being so disgusted by the thought of seeming gay that they make up an orientation to verbally exclude trans women (as if that isn't already what straight men do even while dating them) is cause for celebration..?

@HPFA

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.

Unfortunately you always get some arseholes jumping on board.

This is where it started.

The excellent Wild Womyn Workshop has got Superdyke covered twitter.com/Wild_Womyn/status/1368253518423986189?s=20

Ooh, here comes teacher to tell us off 🤭

Please can someone explain what falls under 'Queer' that isn't already covered by 'Gay' and 'Lesbian'?

I think someone has missed the point ....

@Numicon

I've just seen someone suggest putting superstraight as their gender ID on the census!

Saw this on twitter today...

Straight but with blue hair

Ahhh I finally realise I was wrong all along. Gender isn’t a bunch of made up bull crap, there just wasn’t a made up bull crap that fit my gender yet! I’m super straight

Personally I'm all for homophobes on both sides slagging each other off. Good times!. They came for women but looks like there is a wedge being driven into the men's bloc as well. I'm enjoying viewing the olympic-quality petard hoisting being done today.

Re Superfreak; Yeeow!

Always LOVE the WildWomyn pics

This is a natural consequence of people trying to redefine heterosexuality as including attraction as including a particular group of people of the same sex.

And homosexuality as including attraction as including a particular group of people of the opposite sex.

I am celebrating people asserting their boundaries today, and being free to define their own sexuality.

I'm not sure why you think there's something wrong with an identity that is based purely on anatomy?

@BaronessWrongCrowd

Anyone else hoping that MrMenno does a song on this to the tune of Superfreak?

Yep! Ideally with outrageous 80s fashion and a huge perm!

Enjoyed this one

The definition of homophobic must have been stretched somewhat lately then.

Used to be: urgh, two penis people having sex & relationships? That's wrong!

Now apparently is: two penis people want to have sex and relationships? Totally fine by me, but I only want to have sex & relationships with vagina people.

Saying you're not attracted to trans people is not transphobic any more than it would be homophobic to say you're not attracted to gay people.

I don't give two hoots about gender or sexuality.
It's all been made woke in order to increase the number of people who are encouraged to shout about their rights so that nobody actually stops to think about the real unfairness of social inequality and poverty cemented from birth.
Underpaid and overworked people nod wisely
cue lots of comfortably off people declaring they are super straight and it is actually insurmountably difficult to be so

Excellent. It really was only a matter of time.

Yes, I was thinking that, SirSamuel.

A man not being interested in having sex with another biologically male person, no matter how that male person identifies, is “homophobic” according to Evarish. Interesting.

Btw, thanks for the phrase the cul de sac of illogic earlier, I do like it!

@MrMucker I am most definitely not comfortably well off, flying by the skin of my teeth financially lately. But considering I was told gender is real and I must have a gender, it’s impossible not to have a gender, I declare my gender to be super straight. It’s as valid as anyone else’s gender.

@LemonMeringueThreePointOneFour

Please can someone explain what falls under 'Queer' that isn't already covered by 'Gay' and 'Lesbian'?

Bisexual, transgender, pansexual, asexual, non-binary, to name some.

@Evarish but they all have their own labels already, why the need to add “queer” to the mix when they’re already covered?

There is plenty of the usual homophobia men get in the replies to the original tweet, suggesting he must be covering for something. Alongside the ususal gun and noose emojis, "KYS" and comments about the size of his penis/testicles.

Just reposting this Twitter gem (that SirSamuel posted) here with a direct link because it made me laugh so much:

#superstraight people have existed for decades. They gave Marsha P Johnson the first brick at the stonewall riots. She forgot hers. Educate yourself.
