It turns out I'm a SuperLesbian

Not sure how I feel about this but it's winding up the TRAs an awful lot.

I guess SuperLesbian is preferable to vagina fetishist or gynophile and at least everyone knows where they stand.

It turns out I'm a SuperLesbian

@nauticant

For those new to this, this is the video that kicked things off last weekend and there's been a massive flamewar going on over this across the social media platforms since:

twitter.com/Callum_TRFC_/status/1366900610876981251

The original tiktok account was closed down. Apparently the 16 year old boy who made the video wasn't too upset over the death threats he received himself but he deleted his account when his mum started to receive death threats.

Well that wasn't at all clear to me.....I wasn't aware of the difference in the cartoon figures from a black image to the blue/pink/white images......

Thanks for educating me! You are a super woman (that has nothing to do with your sexulaity).

nauticant · 12/03/2021 12:27

Yes. Plus some bonus features. The first being that they didn't just disagree, it's that thousands of them have been all over social media denouncing those having their own sexuality as being transphobic. The second being the eye-watering number of death threats they made. The third being them breaking the golden rule: attack the women but never go after the men.

Mumdiva99 · 12/03/2021 12:27

Apologies I meant to quote @SapphosRock

Although Nauticant is probably Super too!!

SapphosRock · 12/03/2021 12:51

Indeed nauticant. The lack of self awareness among some TRAs never fails to astound me.

'You need to include this group of people as potential sexual partners or else I'll kill your mum' isn't really the way to win friends and influence people.

I wonder how many more lesbians will be converted to SuperLesbians by this.

Nauticant, Sunset, Zinco thanks for explaining! Grin

One thing that struck me during my time on the short lived superstraight subreddit was how much light was brought to the issue for a whole new demographic i.e. young, straight men

Gay men (supergays) and lesbians (superlesbians), especially lesbians, were posting with all the stories so familiar to us here about being shamed and bullied over their sexual orientation and people were pretty horrified. They had no idea how bad it was and for women in particular

And then, as superstraights, they found themselves banned from other subreddits and receiving online abuse from TRAs telling them to die and kill themselves in graphic detail, though funnily enough no rape threats.

By this point, peaktrans.

No wonder it was banned

Wilsonwilson · 12/03/2021 22:38

Reddit is a cesspool. The only sub about actual women left seems to be female dating strategy, which although only lightly feminist probably has its days numbered. No organic movement will ever be allowed to flourish there, too captured.

MaudTheInvincible · 12/03/2021 22:44

Isn't Reddit the platform with Aimee Challenor & Partner as mods?

SapphosRock · 12/03/2021 23:02

#superlesbian #supergay and #superstraight are all going strong on Twitter. Quite enlightening to say the least.

What ?

@confused .com😕

SpiderinaWingMirror · 13/03/2021 06:30

Have I got this right?
I am a woman attracted to men. Like biological men that were born with a penis? This makes me Superstraight?
My mate, who is a woman and attracted to women that were born with a vagina is now a SuperLesbian?
Why did we stop being straight and lesbian and who actually thinks this shit up?

Rockinmomma · 13/03/2021 07:07

It started as a joke/satire by that guy but it gained traction and was embraced within days
As PPs have said, it sent TRAs into meltdown
The # superstraight was banned as were the subreddits
And now in true TRA style the history of superstraight has been rewritten and people now believe the term was created by nazis on 4chan

You really had to be there, for a time it was amazing seeing so many people peak and support each other

Yes, that's right.

But a few years ago it changed without any big fanfare. When people started defining woman as a feeling rather than an adult human female (and vice versa but less common in discussions). So then a woman in a heterosexual marriage became a lesbian when her husband of 20 years, for example, announced he was actually a woman.

Actual lesbians were/are told to suck "lady dick" or they're bigots (ie straight men who decide they're women are now lesbians).

It goes on. But until now the attacks have been on women and a little on gay men who said they're not attracted to women, even if the woman is a man. Straight men have only in the past week been waking up to this and they don't seem to like the idea that their straightness is supposed to include having sex with men.

SpiderinaWingMirror · 13/03/2021 07:23

But surely a woman who wants sex with a man that identifies now as a woman is more, erm, niche than women who want sex with women born with vaginas?
I'm starting to think that in my early 50s I've lived too long for this kind of shite!
I was a teen/early 20s in the 1980s. Sometimes I think gay rights, as it user to be known, has made huge strides in a generation and then I throw my hands up in despair

Helleofabore · 13/03/2021 08:04

And I am sure we will discover that the 16 year old has been funded by the far right evangelists as well. I am sure he got a package of money dropped on his doorstep with a note detailing the action plan.

nauticant · 13/03/2021 08:13

It requires some thinking about but it's #superstraightfoward to understand. Years of trans activism have pushed hard the argument that transwomen are women (TWAW) and therefore if you are a straight man or a lesbian, then transwomen need to be part of your dating pool. If you say "actually, no" then you are transphobic. Therefore, under trans activist pressure straight doesn't mean "straight". It's bonkers but you would be depressed to see how far this has spread. Most people don't believe it but know better than to say so and incur the wrath of very angry and malicious people, who are often motivated to get people dismissed from their jobs.

#superstraight has been invented to take the piss out of this nonsense but to make a serious point. If a straight man says he's #superstraight or a lesbian says she's #superlesbian then they are explicitly rejecting transwomen as potential sexual partners.

Why bother you might ask? Simple, #superstraight is a new identity category of sexuality and one of the fundamental tenets of the trans activists' religion is that anyone's asserted identity is valid and to deny its validity is one of the worst crimes possible. This means that trans activists could keep quiet about their rapey nonsense, or they can attack and show themselves to be massive hypocrites and give a clear demonstration that their gender identity ideology is a load of rubbish and is actually harmful.

The point isn't about what the women want. It's about how "women who want sex with women born with vaginas" can be put under pressure to have sex with transwomen.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 13/03/2021 08:42

The point isn't about what the women want. It's about how "women who want sex with women born with vaginas" can be put under pressure to have sex with transwomen.

And that means they are expected to have sex with people with penises as it's an exclusionary "genital preference" to not want sex with MTF trans people (the majority of whom don't have genital surgery to create a neovagina) because TWAW.

SapphosRock · 13/03/2021 10:27

For years I thought the pressure on lesbians to accept TW was exaggerated. I agreed with the TRAs when they said 'just swipe left'.

Now lesbians are expected to specifically vocalise support for the TWAW narrative or they are shunned from lesbian spaces. This has really ramped up recently so I can see why the Super meme took off.

@FullofCurryandparatha

So to get this straight (no pun intended), people who are constantly campaigning for inclusivity and for all sexualities to be recognised and celebrated are getting really upset at sexuality being recognised and celebrated?
Yep, you've got it.
DinoHat · 13/03/2021 10:57

I’m sorry OP. That’s appalling. I feel like the trans women dont want to share our spaces - they want to dominate them.

Congratulations Sapphos! These means you may now also use the pronouns supershe/superher!! Grin
