The core problem is trans advocates saying not being attracted to trans people is phobic. And any criticism is transphobic. They have a bully pulpit.

By making Superstraight a new gender identity for those who only want to have sex with people they're attracted to, it turns the tables. It frames the discussion in a new light. If this is a valid gender identity then who are transgender advocacy groups to call it "transphobic," and if it's not a valid gender identity, then who decides which gender identities are valid. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

It's a really weird situation to even need something like this, but this gender identity crap has gotten out of hand and people are sick of having to cater to it. And the only reason trans people care is cause they wanna get laid, it's a lot like incels.

Lol, not sure how much time you've spent in Gender Critical circles, but they have a name for these "lesbians" that rage post online about how lesbians not wanting their dick is transphobic: trancels.

trancels

I've just been learning about that. I had no idea lesbians were putting up with this shit. Kinda sad nobody cared until it became an issue for men.

Actual lesbians were ahead of the curve on this, because they were the first to have to deal with these waves of new "lesbians" demanding access to their spaces. The reason it was a new thing, even though transsexuals have been around forever, is that there is more than one "type" of transsexual: autogynephiles (AGPs), and homosexual transsexuals (HSTSs).

Historically it was the HSTSs that were a part of the LGBT rights movement, but now that there is mainstream acceptance the community is becoming dominated by the AGPs. The whole AGP typology is interesting and might explain a lot if you happen to have any trans "lesbians" in your social circle. I recommend reading this excellent article "The Elephant in the Room" that explains how AGPs are causing strife within the LGBT community.
