The whole thing is just very insecure, in my opinion. It's just furthering the divide. It's an "Oh yeah, watch this" move. I don't want a gf with a cock. I'm just straight. It's not real, and they know it. They just think they're proving some kind of point.

Exactly. Normal average folks who don't live online 24/7 have no idea what "superstraight" means yet would have no problem saying that they're not interested in people with genitalia that isn't their sexual preference.

I have a particular disdain for mockingbird media, which is exactly what this is ... but thought y'all would want to see you're still ruffling feathers :)

This in particular stood out to me as such an absurd spin:

The movement doesn’t end with offensive memes and hate speech. According to Insider, its followers even went as far as to raise money for a trans-exclusionary women’s shelter, Vancouver Rape Relief, via a GoFundMe that brought in $7,000 before it was removed.

Look how bad SuperStraights are! They raised money for a women's shelter! 🙄

And IIRC, Vancouver Rape Relief isn't "trans-exclusive" because it does provide some services to transgenders.

But how outrageous that a rape shelter for women exclude the penised! s/

I have s/theshitlist to keep track.

If you get any woke denouncing/gaslighting letters or petitions post them up there.

Thanks for letting us know about s/theshitlist - what a great idea!

Have you informed s/LGBdroptheT and s/GenderCritical that s/theshitlist exists?

I hope you're keeping a list offline too.

Did they actively seek out the ugliest Weinstein-looking motherfuckers possible to pose for that photo? I think they did.
