It needs to be said again: It is not bigotry, it is not hatred, it is not fear, it's okay, valid, normal, common, reasonable, justifiable and authentic to be born homo sexual.
I am a lesbian, a female homo-sexual. When I say female, I mean the colloquial definition, referring to my biological sex, not my identity. I exclude all males, regardless of how they identify, from my dating pool, because I am not oriented to any of them.
Orientation is not the same as attraction, orientation is the potential for sexual availability.
The UK isn't 'TERF Island', it's 'Awareness Island'. TRA's are seemingly unwilling or unable to understand what the 'problems' they are experiencing are actually about. You really, really need to understand it 1/ 
What the UK has is a strong feminist movement, that largely originated within the political left / unions so understands class analysis. Highly organised & tenacious, they've raised public awareness like nowhere else on earth. 2/
So TRA's problem isn't "TERFs" as such, or even transphobia, but more that British feminists have simply informed the general British public, and in turn the wider world, about what transactivists are saying and what you actually believe 3/
What is #superstraight? Where does it come from? Why was it created? Is it really transphobic?

So it all started when this guy in Tiktok made a video talking abt how heâs tired of being called âtransphobicâ for not being attracted to TW.
He said that since he cant be straight & not be attracted to TW without Being a bigot then Heâd create a new sexuality. â#superstraightâ

But why did this guy feel this way? Who told him that his sexuality was bigotry?
Who said he culdnât exclude biological Males who identify as women from his own darling pool & intimate life?
Trans rights activists did. Trans rights activists and their woke âalliesâ said that.

#superstraight is the latest in hateful, transphobic, far-right trends to hit the internet intended to cause outrage, harm, and undermine the struggle of the LGBTQ2+ community while seeking mainstream attention.
Itâs an op - and you shouldnât fall for it.

Coined by a TikTok user, the concept is portrayed as a ânew sexualityâ that describes straight & cis men & women who are only attracted to biological members of the opposite sex
Itâs trans, queer & homophobia with a clear intent to upset, harm, radicalize & get media coverage

It picked up steam & landed where common sense & human decency go to die: 4chan. /pol/ jumped on the idea as a radicalization tool while harming trans & queer folks & added the SS lightning bolts to the flag.
âPush super straight. It makes tr****** seetheâ one post reads.

TOMORROW. The Court of Appeal will examine the validity of the Hate Crimes Guidance.
Hopefully it will also be aware of the existence of a new movement #superstraight.
This is a declared sexual orientation now with its own flag. And subject to threats and hatred.

Remember. The police MUST record ALL reports about hatred towards sexual orientation, simply because anyone believes someone has experienced hate because of it.
They state there must be âcategoricalâ evidence of malice before they would refuse.

We and others continue to point out the absurdity of perception based reporting of âhate incidentsâ. Not a single police force could tell us what they did with their âhate incidentâ data and how they used it to prevent escalation.
Reasons #superstraight is problematic (for those who don't understand the outrage) a thread:
1: Attraction based solely on the condition of primary sexual characteristics (genitalia) is not a SEXUALITY but a PREFERENCE. (ie: A person only has sex with pierced partners)
1: Attraction based solely on the condition of primary sexual characteristics (genitalia) is not a SEXUALITY but a PREFERENCE. (ie: A person only has sex with pierced partners)
2: Sexuality is defined as identity in relation to the gender or genders a person is attracted to. The romantic/sexual interest in the PERSON comes FIRST, the identity is just a CLASSIFICATION. (ie: A man has only been attracted to male-identifying people and identifies as gay)
3: Sexuality also includes romantic VS sexual interest. A person can be biromantic and asexual, aromantic and heterosexual, or any number of combinations. Note that these are not based on physical characteristics of the partner.
