"Trans-exclusionary Heterosexual" Isnt it just heterosexuality? If they aren't attracted to Trans people, who cares. Keep it to themselves and just date other heterosexuals. Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything.

Because they think that by calling it SuperStraight it gives them protection against people who say they're transphobic. That of course only applies to the likely few honestly non-transphobic, non-troll people who have supported it.

Transwomen are women; transmen are men. It’s not a third gender or sexuality. So a heterosexual male with a transwoman (see, woman) is still a heterosexual thing.

They have to let you know that, because hating is a pretty big part of their personality. Also a bunch of them is just neo-nazis in disguise (they also use the SS symble)

I think the idea is that if trans women are women and cis men are men, and a man says "I am attracted to women" that should imply that you are also attracted to trans women. So if a man says they are heterosexual "but I'm not attracted to trans women", this could be construed as them not considering trans women as "real women".
There's lots of problems with this argument, which basically boil down to "people are complicated" and labels are imperfect and attraction is complicated.
More likely is that someone who says this has a visceral reaction of disgust to the idea of sexual involvement with a trans person. That is pretty much textbook for phobia.
Having said that, you don't need to fuck someone to show support. If so many boomers could get over their homophobia to eventually support human rights for same sex attracted people, I'm sure we can get there for other diverse groups, too
