People are super over the super transphobic “#SuperStraight” movement.
The cringey term cropped up on social media earlier this month. It was reportedly coined by Kyle Royce, who used it in a since-deleted TikTok video.
“Yo guys, I made a new sexuality,” Royce said, explaining that he’s “super straight” because he doesn’t date trans women as they’re “not real women.”
“You can’t say I’m transphobic now,” he reasoned.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Though the video has been removed from TikTok (Royce claims he took it down after receiving death threats, contracting COVID-19, and becoming homeless), it has been making the rounds on Twitter for the past couple of weeks.

A chorus of likeminded men now claim to identify as #SuperStraight and have been posting about their “super straightness” and why they’re not transphobic for believing trans women aren’t “real” women.
(For the record: They are transphobic.)
Unfortunately for them, nobody’s buying their bullsh*t. In fact, the #SuperStraights are being trolled super hard on Twitter right now.
Here’s what folx are saying about these #SuperLosers…
The one thing that gets me about #superstraight is that they had to make up a sexual orientation to declare their transphobia, when in all honesty, A trans person really wouldnt want to sleep or date them in the first place ?

Why be “super straight” when you can be an “extra virgin” bisexual

Do your part, discriminate against a superstraight today. pic.twitter.com/pdvV7cVPAJ

Mfs were so insecure about their sexuality that they really had to make up “super straight” ?

Pro Tip: Just accept the fact that if you have #superstraight in your bio I already know you are a bigoted fuckmuppet and all you will get from me is mockery and ridicule.

mfs say they’re super straight just to still get no girls
— Niime (@NiimeGone) March 18, 2021
I would just like to say real quick that SuperStraight doesn't exist because you're just heterosexual. You also aren't transphobic for not being sexually attracted to a female with male sex organs. That just means you are heteroromantic with Gynosexual attraction.
Christ, y'all

First of all, it’s heterophobic that you’re treating superstraight people this way, if we can continue coming up with many different sexual orientation, couldn’t straight people as well?
Cam
@Dannyzackery
Looks like we have a new screename for the same old troll.
As for your comment. When the LGBTQ+ talk about a label, that label wasn’t invented purely as an attack on another group like Transpeople.
Also, let’s be honest, if Carmen Carrera gave him the time of day he would follow her around like a puppy.
bivector
Literally all they have to do is say nothing. Same with the folks who have the weird exclusionary gay dating profiles. If you don’t want to sleep with someone, don’t sleep with them, but don’t force them to read insulting messages when they’re just out living their lives. It costs you nothing to not be an ass.
mailliw110
Maybe you should just question your own dating habits?
Mister P
He must have an obsession with trans women. Why else would he make up a “sexuality” to exclude them. Another example of people hating who they are.
Mr. Stadnick
The lady protest too much me thinks.
James26
You seem obsessed with the superstraight kid, which means you must really hate trans people.
BaltoSteve
And Rent comes to mind. ” more of a woman then you’ll ever get.”

The super straight idea is something I’d never heard of before. If a male, who is straight, doesn’t wish to date a trans female, don’t you think it’s their prerogative? I do.
I assume their may be trans females who don’t disclose, and why should they. That’s their prerogative too.
I’ve more of an issue with the pass for straight guys “no one would ever know”, yes, until you suck their dick. It’s immature. It’s homophobic. It’s transphobic. It’s a hateful thing to say about the feminine. This is more problematic than some guy who will be gone in 15 minutes.
amanwithanedge
she messy.
ThinkPIease
I am super gay. I am a cis man that is not attracted to a trans man. I like a nice tool down there. If a guy is on tinder and states “Super Straight” then trans women should move on to the next guy.
barryaksarben
NO you are not super gay. I am super gay cis male who is attracted to men. All shapes sizes and colors and equipment. Super anythings do not discriminate. Like the other posts say.If you dont want to sleep with someone dont but there is no need to hollar at every single human you meet in person and online how fragile you are. Just move on and if it is that important to you then with your basic fpowers of observation you should be able to tell without having your siren blaring 24 -7 insulting passersby
Cam
@ThinkPIease
Ugh, no matter what screename this right wing troll tries to hide behind, it always tries saying something like “I’m super gay but….” or “As a transperson I think….” or “Even though I’m a lesbian, I don’t agree with…..”
Before it says something attacking some branch of the LGBTQ community.
Your trolling is sad and tired.
ShowMeGuy
Kyle Royce isn’t anything other than another failed social media “personality”.
Tombear
Goes to prove the fact the difference between a super straight man and a gay man is a six pack of beer!
luvRules
Okay, I don’t think it’s okay to say Trans women aren’t “real” women 100%. But I do have a problem with this article. They go on to demean nerdy and probably insecure guys that have more than likely been bullied their entire lives just because of how they look saying these are probably the guys who are “super straight”. That is not okay people. How about not making fun of or demeaning anyone based on physical appearance or sexual identity.
Cam
A few words about the bigotry he pushed, and then the rest of your comment defending the bigot. Hmmm
jrmat654
I don’t see a problem here. And I’m a member of the LGBTQUACK E-I-E-I-O community. Labels, labels, labels… we’re all people. All the ridiculous labels are divisive.
mailliw110
You do realize that you just labeled yourself.
Fahd
It’s a free country, but if you can’t take the heat stay out of the kitchen. I believe the last president, who was defeated in a landslide – just saying, was quoted today as saying that you can get into trouble on Twitter.
TheX86
Pot meet kettle much? ALL of these newfound made up genders, sexualities & identities by the community & we want to get mad when heteros do the same? OxyMORONic if I’ve ever seen/heard. The superstraights & the super gays/lesbians are tired of being shamed for our sexual orientation. I’m 100 perfect for it.
iminheatlikeacat
I’m homosexual as I’m attracted to the same sex. That doesn’t extend to gender, so it doesn’t include those that aren’t men but who identify as men. The word gay used to cover that. Now it’s supergay. I’d rather not have had the term redefined, but as we’re told language is ever evolving, I guess that’s where we are now.
Cam
Except nobody is telling you, that you have to do anything differently, you’re the one on here desperate to defend a bigot.
Oh also, if you’re going to troll you may want to get updated on all of the hip new slang that the kids are using instead of the word “Homosexual”.
But thanks for exposing yourself so obviously.
Ronbo
Please Cam, we can’t miss you if you never, every go away.
Prax07
I don’t see a problem. T’s are forcing themselves everywhere, wether people want them there or not. Makes sense to counter that with something else made up. Apps need to put filters back in so we can block unwanteds.
Cam
And by “Forcing themselves” you mean “Daring to exist”?
Ronbo
Cam, how many opposite sex persons who share your gender have you dated and married? Do you walk the walk or just talk the talk?
GayEGO
Ha ha ha! What if a transwoman has an operation to replace her male parts with woman parts and does not tell the #superstraight she is a trans. He falls in love with her and later on finds out she is a trans, is he going to dump her?
Ronbo
How would anyone feel when they found out that they had been deceived, misled and gender-catfished? A foundation of truth is essential.
James26
Not only should he dump, but he should call law enforcement. However, the odds of that scenario ever happening are 1 in a million, since the vast majority of “transwomen” don’t come close to passing.
bobbyjoe
C’mon Queerty, the #superstraight thing is bigoted and idiotic but how about not feeding another shaming/bigotry with those pictures of presumably real kids like in the tweet by “miass” who we’re supposed to laugh at for their appearance? You can’t protest one kind of bigotry while pushing another.
charette8596
Totally agree. You can’t have it both ways.
James26
Superstraight, supergay,and superlesbian are just attempts to respond to a facet of rape culture promoted by the trans community. When a group of people decides to bully and browbeat and shame others into dating them, that’s rape culture. Every LGB person should applaud the Supers.
