If you have been on social media recently, you might have possibly come upon a new term that is polarizing. The term in question is ‘super straight’ and it is defined by those who are using it as dating someone of the opposite sex who was born that way.
According to Distractify, a TikTok user by the name of Kyle Royce appeared to be the first person to coin the term ‘super straight’ in a video that was pulled from the platform. However, the video was reposted to Twitter. In the video, Royce refers to being ‘super straight’ as a sexual orientation and insists it is not transphobic.

The trend has taken on a life of its own on TikTok with the hashtag, ‘#superstraight’ receiving over 116 million views.
A Twitter used named AntiFash Gordon posted a tweet with a screenshot of a thread from the website 4chan which appears to instruct users to do the exact tactics that are occurring on both TikTok and Twitter.
Remember that the #SuperStraight hashtag is an anti-trans OP.
It was birthed several days ago from 4chan and Kiwi Farms, both noxious holes of anti-trans and disinfo content.
If you see it, don’t get confused. It’s the same anti-trans bullshit the far-right consistently pushes. pic.twitter.com/iEAwn3gn22

Another level added to the whole trend is a ‘super straight’ pride flag with the colors black and orange with some versions have the letters ‘SS’ in the center of each color.
While Royce remains on TikTok, he has started a GoFundMe page on Sunday, March 7 with text on the page claiming:
After creating the original “Super Straight” video, I have received an insane amount of backlash and death threats. People found my family and have been set to ruin our lives; even attacking my mother’s business. Especially since I got COVID-19 currently and am homeless, stuck staying at my girlfriend’s house: some help and funding would be so greatly appreciated from the Super Straight Community
As of Monday evening, Royce has raised $535 of his $100,000 goal.
It should also be noted that this trend is going on three weeks before International Transgender Day of Visibility.

The super straight movement isn’t transphobic and the creator has spoken out about this and cleared up a lot of the controversy. You can search it on his channel on Youtube: SUPER STRAIGHT EXPLANATION ORIGNAL CREATOR.
But I would like to point out it does point out a lot of hypocrisy within the sexuality and gender debate. A while ago it was simpler, you were either heterosexual or homosexual all these extra labels were created. If his sexuality was not accepted by the left then why is something like sapiosexual accepted which could be interpreted as ableist. There’s an imense spectrum that is truly unecssasary. If superstraight is not accepted because it simply is a difference in opinion than someone else, then these other sexualities shouldn’t exist either.

Taking hormones will never make you a woman. It will just turn you into a really hideous man. Stay mad 🙂
People should be free to state their sexual orientation and their sexual preference, and that includes LGBT+ as well as straight people. However this doesn’t earn bragging points, since it is simply an innate personal characteristic, and therefore not chosen. In that sense, this “super-straight” nom-de-plume appears to be braggadocio, since no-one is forcing this individual to date anyone in particular, let alone a transgender person. He is free to choose, so just get on with it.
I agree with the other guys comment.
This is a cancel culture story wrapped up in leftists crying “transphobia!”
He is allowed to voice his opinions.
Kyle Royce does not like chicks with dicks.
Nuff said.
But now he and his family are canceled because he has a normal preference.
LGBTQ community is sooooo accepting and understanding *sarcasm*
On Twitter the tag seems NOT transphobic and NOT especially right leaning. More like centre. As a left/lib (but not woke/progressive) I think this makes sense.
I support #superstraight because it points out some quite obvious problems.
• ‘newspeak’ and cancel culture
• trans extremism
• neglecting women’s rights
• ignoring biology
• questioning free choices
