I think it’s very hypocritical of them, but I think most trans people are super lgbs.

Hypocrisy abounds, but it's not wanting someone who is not trans while being trans that is the problem. If it was, it would also be hypocritical for anyone to be straight (even if not super).
The problem only comes when such people publicly denounce supersexuality while effectively practising it themselves. And it's quite possible for a cis person to engage in the same wrong.

It is hypocritical for trans people to only want to date people who aren’t trans while pressuring us to be open to them. I’m not saying it’s a problem, it’s just hypocritical and should be an obvious red flag in their arguments. Publicly denouncing the “super” sexualities while being “super-“ themselves is the one of the best examples of hypocrisy I can think of.
I don’t really get how you think being straight would be hypocritical.

while pressuring us to be open to them
That's what I covered in my second paragraph. My point was that hypothetically, a person could be trans and accept the small dating pool it implies in a non-superphobic world. They wouldn't be pressuring other people to be open, and thus would be innocent of the hypocrisy.
How many such people exist (relative to the total trans population) is a question of fact I'm not sure of. It would be surprising and depressing if the answer was 0%.
In contrast, a cis person who denounces supersexuality as "hate", is not asexual, has not given any sort of exclusivity promise to a cis lover, and yet has never pleased a trans person would be more suspect than a boundary-respecting trans. I'd imagine there are a lot of those; the hostile response to super would otherwise be much smaller.
The "hypocrisy of straightness" would simply be that every straight person has a characteristic that utterly disqualifies them from being an acceptable date to themselves. Yet they hope their crush will like that characteristic. It's not really hypocrisy by itself --- it only becomes so if they question others' right to be homosexual or asexual.
