Elegant Savage Clapbacks for Transphobes
For the days when the ignorance gets a little too loud.

Some people love repeating the same tired line:
“No matter how feminine you look, you’ll always be a man.”
Or the classic:
“If they dig up your bones in 100 years, they’ll see you were a man.”

We hear it.
We roll our eyes.
We live our fabulous lives anyway.

And because PrideHives is a place where trans people don’t have to shrink themselves, here are icy, classy, intelligent clapbacks you can use — comebacks that slice without becoming hateful:
