Super Straight

Super Straight (SS) is the "sexual orientation" for those who are heterosexual, but only like those who identify with their assigned gender at birth (cisgender). This "orientation" is most commonly used by straight cisgender men who believe trans women are not women.

History The term was and flag was created on 4chan to deliberately attempt spread Nazi imagery (SS) as a way of alt-right recruitment as well as drive a wedge between trans people and the rest of the community.[1] The term was later spread on by kyleroyce on TikTok, and was quickly adopted by TERFs and other transphobes to spread dehumanizing statements and exclusionary/transphobic ideologies.

Transphobia The major controversy surrounding this "sexuality" is the transphobia where it specifically was created to exclude and dehumanize transgender people, and those who use it do not consider trans people as the gender they are.

The name "super straight" also makes it seem as though heterosexual attraction to transgender individuals makes one "somewhat gay" as if being a "true straight" cannot include transgender people. It is also unneeded, as having a preference for cisgender people does not require a label.
