Mythbusting: Supers Can SMELL Chromosomes???

Yes! We can!

This little-known fact, often suspected by superphobes, is indeed confirmed! From birth all supersexuals have the unique ability to identify the chromosomes of others using only their sense of smell. They can practically see them in the air, similar to a bloodhound's incredible odor sensitivity. As there are no other known ways to detect biological sex, this sixth sense is crucial to their ability to function with their sexuality.

Not only this, but this translates into a fetish by puberty, and supers are actually only sexually aroused by physical chromosomes! Yes, those invisible cells of information will make your friendly neighborhood super weak in the knees. As a consequence, supers experience NO attraction based on other factors like physical appearance, personality or a mutual emotional bond :) The more you know!

Consider this myth CONFIRMED! 🧡🖤🧡

Genetalia.

Genitals, genital obsession, and genital “preference”

Misconception: It is a common misconception that supersexuality is simply attraction to a certain genetalia set. Of course, if this were true, supersexuals would be open to relationships with transgender individuals, but this is not the case. Supers are, like anyone else, attracted to people. As previously stated, gender AND sex are integral to super orientations. 

The Fallacy: Once superphobes assert that supersexuality is a preference, they can go on to attack the strawman by calling them transphobic or genital fetisists. They can argue that this “preference” can be unlearned- which eventually leads to the rape rhetoric that plagues superphobic spaces. The fallacy therefore must be stopped from the beginning, as meaningful conversation cannot take place with someone who appeals to this “preference” assumption.

What Does It Mean To Be Sex AND Gender Attracted? This is where much of the confusion starts. Unlike other sexualities, here gender expression is just 1/2 of the equation. Most supers are attracted to either a masculine or feminine gender identity (this does not necessarily mean their partner will openly express the stereotypes of their gender identity). But this attraction is directly linked to their sex-based attraction, hence why supersexuals are exclusively attracted to cisgender people. 

But Isn’t Sex Just Genetalia? No, which is the main problem with the reactionary argument that supers are simply “genetalia fetishists”. Biological sex is physically expressed in everything from bone structure, height, vocal range, body hair, limb size, and muscle composition, among other things including genetalia. The lack of coehesion which may lead to sexual dysphoria can occur when ANY of these factors (often without the conscious knowledge of the super) are not present to a reasonable degree. To expect a super to participate in sex based on the genetalia  involved alone is to deeply misunderstand and invalidate their sexuality. The same can be said for expecting them to particapate based on the gender of the partner alone. 

What Should I Do When I See Superphobic Rhetoric? 

Always educate. When you see a superphobe saying “supersexuality is a genital preference/obsession/fetish” stop before they can escalate into rape or conversion rhetoric. Teach them that supers aren’t soley attracted to genitals, but gender as well as biological sex. Teach them that this is a fixed sexuality and NOT a preference. And teach them that Super Love Is Love!

What does it mean to be “Supersexual”?

Let’s break it down. 

 Defintion: Supersexual describes a branch of sexual orientation where one has romantic/sexual orientation towards cisgender individuals only. In other words, it is a sexuality where both gender and sex are integral to attraction. 

Origins: The term “Super Straight” was coined in a TikTok video by user Kyle Royce. The video was posted on Febuary 21, 2021 and was a joking resonse to the invasive questions and accusations of people who asserted that he was transphobic for not being willing to date transwomen. The video gained traction and controversy before being removed. Kye would later delete his account after multiple threats towards him and his family and being doxxed. During this time the term, as well as “supersexual” “superlesbian” “supergay” etc began to trend on other sites.

There is a common misconception that super straight was started secretly by neonazi groups on 4Chan. However the only evidence to support this are screenshots of 4Chan discussions, none of which are dated prior to March 2021. Furthermore Kyle specifically states that he is the creator of the term in his video, with zero references to a larger movement. 

Supersexuals (mainly) include: Superstraight, superbi, superlesbian, supergay, and super-asexual. 

 Sexual Dysphoria: The experience of being romantically or intimately involved with someone whose gender and sex are not aligned creates intense sexual dysphoria for supersexuals. When the gendered presentation of their partner contradicts physical traits of the typically correllated sex the supersexual will immediately understand that it is wrong for them. It is directly comparable to how a homosexual would experience a sexual encounter with the opposite gender. 

Genetal preference? The application of the term ‘preference’ is incorrect for the context of supersexuality. Often this is used to invalidate supers’ sexuality and gaslight them and their allies into believing they are truly bad people. It is also a form of conversion therapy rhetoric. It isn’t uncommon for supersexuals themselves to describe their orientation as a genital preference out of guilt or social pressure. By using this term it implies that a sexual encounter with a non-cisgender person would NOT be a violation of their sexual boundaries. It implies that they would be expected to enjoy such an encounter, though to a lesser degree than normal. Examples of a real preference would be the height, weight or beliefs of a potential partner. Furthermore, calling supersexuality a matter of “genital preference” is to insinuate that they could simply be taught to not be super. ALL of which enables the dangerous rape culture which preys on and idolizes supersexuality, and views the conversion or even DECEPTION of a super as an intensely gratifying sexual conquest. Hence, the use of terms including “genital preference” or “genital fetishist” are considered serious hate speech towards the super community. 

All In All Supersexuality is nothing more than a sexuality that is grounded in both biological sex and gender, which ultimately is expressed by attraction TO cisgender individuals, not AGAINST transgender individuals. 

The more we educate, the less will hate <3 Feel free to ask questions on the lesson topic, and see you around!

Is Supersexuality transphobia?

Short answer: no.

1) Sexuality is inherently exclusive as a concept.

All humans have their own needs and perceptions that ultimately lead to a specific, fixed sexuality as well. Having a sexuality means they are attracted to something specific- and therefore do not experience that attraction or arousal by others outside that circle. Everyone reserves the right to sexual boundaries, and no one has the right to demand explanations for these boundaries.

2) Implications of calling a sexuality [ ]-phobic

If you believe that supersexuality is transphobic, you MUST also believe that homosexuality is misandrist and misogynistic. It is the continuation of the exact same logic and there are no two ways around it. As we know, this is a bigoted viewpoint as a person's sexuality is defined by who they LOVE, not who they don't.

3) Why calling supersexuals transphobes is deeply fascist and problematic

When you question the sexuality of others, implying their love has ulterior motives, this is a form of gaslighting, coercion and conversion therapy. However unintentional, it works to guilt others into dismantling their sexual boundaries for the benefit and sexual achievement of others. It is a demand which parallels fascist interrogation and homophobia. It is to assume that their sexuality is changeable, that it is simply a preference (a common misconception). Our orientation is NOT your sexual conquest. It is NOT your fetish.

Welcome all :)

In the past few months the internet was suddenly introduced to a new branch of sexual orientation: supersexuality. While the orientation itself has existed as long as any other, its being given a name put it front and center for the first time, with very mixed reactions. 

It sparked everything from celebration to hate, but mostly confusion from the internet. What does “super” mean? Is it made up? Can they do that? And rather infamously...is this just transphobia with a new name? 

This blog is committed to answering these questions and helping ease the super community into acceptance through education on the topic. Remember, love IS love! 

See ya around!
