@WataniHamza Exactly, and important to bring up! This mindset really comes from true sexism- the idea that what is male and female is directly and irreversibly tied to perceived stereotypes. Some sexualities still are linked to masc/fem performance, just not all :)
Super Fact: when superphobes say that sexuality is "actually ONLY based on gender", they are using the same desperate rhetoric that homophobes used when saying that marriage was "actually ONLY for procreation".
Do not be gaslighted. Do not be redefined. Be YOU π§‘π€π§‘
@Senecalocum @pontificatormax This shelter had been defunded for having sex-exclusive policies, even though most Canadian shelters still offered help based on gender. This struck a chord with our community, who had grown so much we felt obligated to put our influence to good use π§‘
As the guy who started this said, the motto of SuperStraight is "You do you, love and respect everybody else." EVERY idea will have extremists on the fringe. We know we're new, and controversial, so we're under a magnifying glass. All we ask is for you to judge for yourself.

So what do we do when ideas are infiltrated by evil people?
Our conclusion:
It is anti-intellectual to only give a movement as much credit as its worst member.
Our sexuality stands for a welcoming community, for those who are confused by an orientation that is specifically sex-based rather than gender. Whether we are simply satire with a message, or something really freeing for someone being ostracized and threatened, we're here π§‘π€π§‘
Symbols and acronyms such as "SS" or "β‘β‘" have popped up as well. But to be clear: the lightning insignia is NOT affiliated with our movement or sexuality. And while the acronym was common at first, our subreddit explicitly banned its use, and now most of us have got the memo.
All evidence points to 4chan neonazis looking to hijack a preexisting movement, as they often try to do. But their flags, terminology and ideology are NOT welcome here nor anywhere among decent people. We mods worked hard to nip trolling in the bud while our sub was still up.
Super Fact: While Supersexuality was coined and first adopted by Superstraights, we are a very diverse community that includes Supergays, lesbians, bisexuals (and others) across every demographic!
