Superstraight

A satirical “sexuality” designed as a counter to being called transphobic for not dating trans people, which unfortunately was taken too seriously and evolved into a thin guise for actual transphobia. Exercise caution when using this word, as it may elicit threats of violence and/or death.
“I’m superstraight bro I only like REAL women”

“yeah ok dumbass, you don’t need a whole sexuality just to be transphobic

Or:

“I’m superstraight because I am not attracted to women with a penis or artificial vagina.”

“OK, I guess? Isn’t that just a preference and not a sexuality?”

“shit, you right”

Superstraight

Honestly quite stupid, if i do say so myself. its a preference not a sexuality. being a trans woman isn't a different gender you could not be attracted to, its just a woman. with different parts. preference. not sexuality.
1: "Yeah im Superstraight"
2: "the fuck is that?"

Superstructure of Science

A metascientific framework, often drawing on Marxist terminology, that examines the ideological, cultural, and discursive formations that arise from and legitimize the material infrastructure of science. The superstructure of science includes the belief systems, values, narratives, and ideologies that science produces and that in turn shape how science is understood and practiced—the idea of scientific progress, the myth of the lone genius, the ideology of value-free inquiry, the narrative of science as salvation, the cultural authority of experts, the distinction between science and pseudoscience as a boundary-making practice. It also includes the ways scientific knowledge is represented in popular culture, education, and policy—the stories we tell about science that shape what science means and who gets to participate. Examining the superstructure reveals that science is not just a knowledge-producing machine but a cultural formation, producing meaning and legitimacy alongside facts, and that this cultural dimension shapes scientific practice as surely as funding or equipment.
Example: "His superstructure of science analysis showed how the 'scientific method' taught in schools is largely a myth—a simplified story that legitimizes science by making it seem systematic and objective, while hiding the messy, creative, social reality of actual scientific practice."

A framework closely related to the theory of the legal superstructure, but with emphasis on how law itself functions as a superstructure—a cultural, ideological, and institutional layer that arises from and legitimates the material conditions of society. This theory examines how legal concepts (rights, justice, due process) are not timeless ideals but products of specific social formations. It investigates how law shapes consciousness, how legal reasoning naturalizes social arrangements, and how legal institutions provide legitimacy for economic and political power. The theory insists that to understand law, one must understand the base—the economic and social relations that law serves to stabilize and legitimate.
Example: "Her theory of the superstructure of law examined how the concept of 'property' evolved with capitalism—not as a discovery of natural rights, but as a legal superstructure built to protect the new economic base."
