"Super straight" concerns an internet term, often associated with a decentralized hate campaign, primarily conducted through the use of social media, where members make usage of terms coined by the LGBT community to exclude transgender people from their dating preferences. The term, first coined by TikTok user Kyle Royce, later spread to 4chan, where internet trolls, trans-exclusionary radical feminists, and Nazis accelerated the growth of the hate campaign. Usage of the term later spread to Twitter.

History

The term "super straight" was first used by transgender comedian Robin Tran during a comedy set in 2017.

"Super straight" was then used in a TikTok video created by Kyle Royce, captioned "who else is super straight?". Royce claimed that he used the term because he was "tired of being called transphobic" for not wanting to date a transgender person. The video had over a million views before it was deleted. Kyle Royce later commented that he deleted the video because his mother was sent death threats.

Two weeks after the original video was posted, the term "super straight" reached the /pol/ board of 4chan, a board known for being associated with far-right trolls. Members of the board, including trans-exclusionary radical feminists, and Nazis, discussed ways to "drive a wedge" within the LGBT community, and to "use the left's tactics against themselves". These discussions often abbreviated "super straight" to SS, an abbreviation that also stands for "Schutzstaffel", which refers to Adolf Hitler's personal bodyguards. Similar discussions also occurred on Kiwi Farms, an online board with little moderation.

In March 1, 2021, a subreddit was created in dedication to the social media trend. After amassing over 30,000 subscribers, the subreddit was banned on March 10, 2021 for, according to Reddit, becoming "increasingly exclusionary with hateful content that is counter to its original satirical intent". Offshoots of the subreddit, including r/Super_Lesbian, r/supersexuals, and r/superstraights, were also banned.

Discussion on the term "super straight" later spread to Twitter. Users of the website began self-identifying as "super straight". "#Superstraight" trended on Twitter shortly after, with many criticizing the term.

Criticism

"Super Straight" has been criticized as "thinly veiled transphobia". PinkNews criticized the movement for having links to the far-right and neo-Nazis. Carter Kolpitcke of The Argonaut opined that the term is "rooted in LGBTQ+ hatred". Refinery29 stated that super straights are "a novelty, a footnote, a trend soon to be forgotten".
