Did a trans person just ask you to go on a date, but you only date heterosexual people? You could tell them you\u2019re \u2018super straight\u2019<\/em> to get them to back off and leave you alone. This post unpacks the meaning and origin of this expression.<\/p>\n

Meaning<\/h2>\n

The expression \u2018super straight\u2019<\/em> refers to a sexual orientation where the person will only date people of the opposite sex. They are not interested in having sexual intercourse with gay or trans people. As a result, many trans people label \u2018super straight\u2019<\/em> individuals as transphobes or homophobes, but that isn\u2019t always the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A \u2018super straight\u2019<\/em> person is heterosexual. Both men and women can be super straight. Using the term super straight<\/em> on social media could result in trans or \u2018woke<\/em>\u2019 people calling you out for being transphobic.<\/p>\n

Example Usage<\/h2>\n

\u201cNah, I\u2019m good, man; I\u2019m super straight. I\u2019m not interested in having relations with men that think they\u2019re women. It\u2019s cool that you\u2019re trans and all. You\u2019re just not the right person for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTrans people can\u2019t stand it when straight people turn them down. I don\u2019t care what people say, I\u2019m not into trannies, and I\u2019m super straight. You won\u2019t catch me dating a trans person.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTrannies are so insistent on your dating them because they think they\u2019re now another sex. These people don\u2019t realize that we\u2019re super straight, and they\u2019re still their old sex to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing super straight is homophobic and racist. You can\u2019t tolerate our culture, so you have to fight against it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSuper straight people are usually white supremacists anyway. They probably support Donald Trump and hunt democrats on the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSuper straight people are all racists and homophobes. I\u2019ve met them, and they refuse to date me, even though I\u2019m post-op. their level of intolerance is unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing super straight is fine with me. I don\u2019t really care much about labels anyway. I don\u2019t care about you judging me, slap a label on me if you want.\u201d<\/p>\n

Origin<\/h2>\n

The expression 'super straight' originates from the TikTok influencer Kyleroyce.' Kyleroyce posted a video titled 'who else is super straight?' in February 2021, claiming he created a new form of sexuality. Kyle claimed he was tired of people calling him transphobic because he refused to date trans people.<\/p>\n

Kyle says the following in his video on the topic.<\/p>\n

\"Straight men get called transphobic because I wouldn't date a trans woman. Now, I'm super straight.<\/p>\n

I only date the opposite gender, women, that are born women. So you can't say I'm transphobic now because that is just my sexuality.\"<\/p>\n

The video went viral over the following weeks, eventually landing on the infamous message board, 4Chan. Far-right trolls adopted the expression, spreading it on social media for laughs and a poke at the trans community.<\/p>\n

As a result of the trolling, trans people regard the use of 'super straight' as a homophobic and transphobic 'dog whistle.'<\/p>\n
