What does it mean to be âSupersexualâ?
 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.Â
Origins: The term âSuper Straightâ 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 âsupersexualâ âsuperlesbianâ âsupergayâ 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.Â
Supersexuals (mainly) include: Superstraight, superbi, superlesbian, supergay, and super-asexual.Â
 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.Â
Genetal preference? The application of the term âpreferenceâ is incorrect for the context of supersexuality. Often this is used to invalidate supersâ sexuality and gaslight them and their allies into believing they are truly bad people. It is also a form of conversion therapy rhetoric. It isnât 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 âgenital preferenceâ 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 âgenital preferenceâ or âgenital fetishistâ are considered serious hate speech towards the super community.Â
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.Â
