but it appears as though currently accepted sexual preferences are no longer valid to some people when they include/exclude trans people
Nope. The idea this is a wide spread way of thinking is just wrong and the only people spreading it are the ~~ones not wanting to date a trans person~~ trans haters, 4Chan idiots and three trans idiots (and I am not sure if two of them aren't also made up people through 4chan) on Twitter they constantly quote for this. Overwhelmingly: **Trans people do not want anyone to date them who doesn't want to, end of story. ALL trans organisations have said this also loud and clear.**
Also:
They were calling themselves "the SS" literally on the first day, ostensibly unaware that calling themselves the SS and using twin lightening bolts on their "pride flag" was nazi shit.
You can't ignore that. The signs of this being a 4chan made up problem were all there, from the first day the "movement" came into existence.
I have a hard time to understand why so many people fail to understand this or do not want to acknowledge this. Please for your own good learn to spot things like this, it's not hard.

So what you're saying is that trans men are normal, rational men and trans women are normal, rational women. How shocking. /s
This is what I wanted to understand though. If this was just a vocal minority thing where straight dudes were bashing trans people again, or if there was actually some valid level of hatred directed at either cis or gay/lesbian individuals who say they're not attracted to trans individuals.
If you'd give me a little credit, I acknowledged the movement as being based on hate in my opening comment. I didn't mention any nazi ties because it seems like low hanging fruit. Being a bigot doesn't make you a nazi. 'superstraight' absolutely sounds like something I could picture cis men I knew when I was younger coming up with because they like how it makes them sound, not because of any nazi germany ties. I don't remember seeing any lightning bolts either. Again though, I haven't be researching this extensively.
Thanks for the response btw. You and a couple other people have made similar comments which have given me a bit better understanding.
