It turns out I'm a SuperLesbian

[SapphosRock]

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.

Congrats Sappho on your Superlesbianism

"Our pussy, our rules" as someone sums it up on Lipstick Alley.

So lesbians are transphobic if they aren't attracted to or don't want to date trans women?
Am I transphobic then if I, as a straight women don't find trans men attractive?
I mean as someone who has employed trans men and women and advocated for them I would find it surprising to discover this late in the game to find I'm transphobic all along. Should I be trying harder?

I think all lesbians are super lesbians considering the amount of nonsense they are dealing with right now.

Women Against Hate on fb have come out as supers.

I think they could do with a bit of being congratulated.

Lesbianandgaynews have a fundraiser going on.

Won't post a link, but have a little root around in the same place as Ann Sinnotts allotment.

Pothole

Will add some causes to your other thread tomorrow.

Am I the only one who still has to stop for a moment to think what sex the person is when I come across the term Trans man or women?

I think it is a little bit counterintuitive. One would have thought a trans woman was a woman who was trans because they identified as a man.

Not just you. I saw an MSP going off on an elderly constituent and calling him a transphobe because he saw the space in "trans man" and imagined a transwoman. Then he innocently asked how such a person could have endometriosis or period problems.

What an awful term.

There's potential for a lot of mischief from this. Seen this TRA propaganda circulating in a few lesbian groups and one woman commented 'super duper'

That third one down doesn’t even work!

I'm so irritated by this - how can anyone think they have the right to even suggest to another person that they can be policed over who they fancy/don't fancy!
There is no 'right' to sexual partners.

I am heterosexual. I can experience a sexual (physical) response to penis people regardless of what they are wearing.

As has been said before heterosexual women are all the evidence needed that sexual orientation is not a choice.

Not sure if that means I am superhetero...

What, like superheterodyne?

That looks like an extremely complicated sexuality.

Yes indeed nauticant that sounds just like it. Especially the bit about very high selectivity.

So complicated and special that I haven’t got a clue myself.

Good to see so many supersexual people.

I am heterosexual. I can experience a sexual (physical) response to penis people regardless of what they are wearing.

This is interesting. As a homosexual i have a sexual aversion to the penis people, even if they are wearing feminine clothes.

Re the vagina people, I don't mind what they wear, but I would struggle with elective breast removal and facial hair.

I realise my comment loses something without the cartoon! I meant that what one person likes has no bearing on whether they meet someone else’s “requirements” . If that’s one of their arguments, then they’re really scraping the barrel and if they keep on like in the cartoon, they’re harassing them anyway, a simple “no” should suffice

SapphosRock, along the same lines I think that facial feminisation surgery and surgical breast enhancement would be off putting for me and from an emotional and intellectual point of view I wouldn’t be attracted to someone whose values were so different than my own but I suspect that a functioning male genitalia would potentially elicit some physical sexual response in the right circumstances regardless, and regardless of whether I want it or not psychologically.

I can well imagine feeling an initial attraction to male secondary sex characteristics which have been brought about by taking male hormones in a clothed person but female genitalia wouldn’t do anything for me nor would anything surgery can provide.

For me sexual orientation is about sex. That is just the way it is and not something that I have any control over.

Interestingly I have never heard of any heterosexual woman being called lesbophobic for not fancying other women.
