Super Straight Movement Flag Video Hits TikTok, Draws Criticism

TikTok The man who made the super straight flag

What is the super straight movement flag? It’s a trend that started on TikTok, whereby people declare that they are “super straight” – attracted only to cisgender men or women. The man who started the trend in a video even made a black and orange “flag.”

People are debating the term on Twitter using the #superstraight to talk about the new “movement.” Some people are criticizing the use of the term because they believe it mocks the LGBTQ community, specifically transgender people, since the original user added a commentary saying he wouldn’t date trans women.

“I’m a little late to find out about the #superstraight nonsense. It just feels like they’re doing this to mock the struggles of LGBT+ people. I hope this sh** goes away because honestly it’s really f***ing stupid,” wrote one of the many critics on Twitter. Some people made mocking versions of the so-called flag.

The LGBTA Wiki wrote, “While some cisgender individuals who identify with this term are supportive of transgender individuals, it is still not appropriate to use this term, as it has been overtaken by exclusionists and TERFS. It is also unneeded, as having a preference for cisgender people does not require a label.” Critics of the term say that cisgender people don’t face discrimination in society and, thus, don’t need a label.

That didn’t stop the trend from spreading. Another person wrote, “I am coming out of the closet as Super Straight! More than 40 years and counting. #superstraight.”

According to HITC, the super straight flag trend started with a TikTok video posted by TikTok user Kyle Royce, who has since removed it. However, the video was preserved on Twitter.

‘Yo guys I made a new sexuality now actually. It’s called super straight. Straight men such as myself get called transphobic because I wouldn’t date a trans women,” he said in the video.

He said he wouldn’t date a trans woman because he doesn’t consider them to be real women. “So now I’m super straight. I only date the opposite gender. Women that are born a woman. So now you can’t say I’m transphobic. That’s just my sexuality you know,” he said.

Then he recorded another video that says “super straight’s official flag: let our voices be heard.” It contains a flag that is black and orange.

“Being #SuperStraight is not a mockery of the LGBTQ community. We have love for every community. Our only wish is to not be hated, targeted, and to be accepted by everyone in society. That’s why we will not stop, can not stop till this is a global movement.”

“If youre all for being #superstraight or #supergay etc thats totally fine, but these interactions are turning more hateful towards trans ppl now.”
