Why Are People So Cruel on Social Media? A Plea for Respect
I came across a heartbreaking facebook post today from someone who has transitioned from a long-time crossdresser to identifying as a trans woman. This person may not 'pass' instantly or look conventionally 'super feminine' yet, but that absolutely does not matter.
Every single transgender person has a personal journey to walk.
Imagine spending a lifetime being perceived as one gender, only to finally embrace the person you truly are—a woman. You’re learning, experimenting, and searching for the best way to express your authentic self. This is a brave, beautiful, and often vulnerable process!
The comments on her post were utterly vicious:
“You’ll always be a man.”
"You still look like a dude."
“Look what escaped from the madhouse.”
These brutal, cruel comments are things people would NEVER say face-to-face, yet online they feel entitled to unleash this malice.
Stop and Think.
You are interacting with a human being with real feelings. Every trans person is on a journey of discovery and self-acceptance.
Who are you to attack their bravery? Would you enjoy being targeted and torn down like that?
The golden rule holds true: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The magic word is RESPECT. Give it freely, and perhaps you’ll find it comes back to you. Let's make the internet a kinder, safer space for everyone, especially those finding the courage to live their truth.
A Note on Social Media Intentions
People use social media for many different reasons. Most simply want to have a good time, connect, and find some genuine enjoyment and camaraderie. But others seem to only participate to spew their venom and vent their frustrations onto others.
I’ll tell you one thing:
If this kind of hate or rudeness éver occurs on Pridehives, I’ll kick your ass off the platform. Let that be clear.
We are a platform dedicated to positivity, spreading love and respect. Online hate will be dealt with severely and will result in an immediate and permanent removal from Pridehives.
Choose kindness. Choose respect. Choose love.
