what is "superstraight" and why are people talking about it
-F

@LexYeen i don't... what? this is definitely a Thing
-F

@Felthry The entire premise of "super-straight is a sexual orientation" relies upon the false assumption that trans women are not women, and that a cis man dating a trans woman is somehow "less straight" than a cis man dating a cis woman.

@Felthry Also, "super-straight" has direct connections to the alt-right. See the link provided here: vulpine.club/@LexYeen/10590072

@LexYeen yeah i saw that when you boosted it after that first reply

just... can we get the alt-right to stop already

@Felthry I'd love to, but unfortunately my best plan so far is "make myself visibly anti-fascist and anti-authoritarian, and convince others to do the same."

@LexYeen i mean it's okay to have a preference for genitals or something in your sexuality (though i'd have Questions if that was involved in romantic orientation) but this is just blatant transphobia
