✨ A Gentle Reminder for Our Trans Siblings

Transgender people face discrimination daily—from institutions, media, workplaces, and even families. But one of the most painful forms of exclusion often comes from within our own community: when trans folks shame each other for not being “passable,” for having features deemed “too masculine,” for being fat, disabled, neurodivergent, or simply for not fitting narrow cisnormative standards of what a woman “should” look like.

This blog explores internalized transphobia and transmisogyny in our spaces—and shows how choosing kindness, solidarity, and radical inclusion can transform our communities.

 


 

Why Trans People Shame Each Other: Internalized Oppression in Queer Spaces

Many trans people grow up internalizing toxic beauty ideals and gender norms. When we transition, some of us unconsciously replicate these standards as a way to seek validation or safety. The result? Gatekeeping, comparison, and judgment—where one trans person scrutinizes another for not being “trans enough.”

Common examples include:

  • Criticizing someone’s voice, face, or body

  • Mocking non-passing trans women or trans men

  • Shaming fat, disabled, or neurodivergent trans folks

  • Policing gender expression in nonbinary people

These behaviors do not protect us—they reproduce the same harmful systems we’ve fought to survive.

 


 

Trans Is Not a Competition: Why Kindness Is Revolutionary

Tearing someone down doesn’t make you more valid, prettier, or safer. It just makes our community smaller, colder, and less welcoming.

Instead, we can choose:

  • Compassion over comparison

  • Celebration over criticism

  • Solidarity over shame

Let’s be the community we wished we had when we were younger—scared, questioning, and just trying to survive.

 


 

How to Support Non-Passing Trans People and Build Inclusive Spaces

Whether you’re a trans person, an ally, or a platform creator, you can uplift others by:

  • Complimenting courage, effort, and self-expression—not just appearances

  • Avoiding comments on someone’s “passability”

  • Using inclusive language in onboarding flows, community guidelines, and moderation policies

  • Creating opt-in spaces for self-definition, rather than enforcing conformity

  • Celebrating diverse gender expressions in visuals, branding, and campaigns

Platforms like PrideHives.com are pioneering safe, vibrant, and emotionally resonant spaces for trans and queer communities. Founded by a trans woman, PrideHives focuses on radical inclusion, empowerment rituals, and community care.

 


Final Thoughts: You Are Beautiful. So Is Every Other Trans Person.

We are not in competition. We are in communion.

Let’s uplift each other. Let’s ritualize kindness. Let’s make every space we touch a sanctuary for every truth, no matter how complex.

💖 You are beautiful. So is the next trans person. Let’s act like it.
