• 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:

    Elegant Savage Replies

    1. “If biology class was that hard for you, just say that.”
    2. “Your opinion isn’t a fact — not even on a good day.”
    3. “Imagine caring this much about someone else’s gender. You must be exhausted.”
    4. “Don’t worry, sweetheart. My identity isn’t a group project.”
    5. “I changed my name, not my standards. That’s why we’re not on the same level.”
    6. “I know you want to insult me, but all I’m hearing is insecurity.”
    7. “My existence bothers you more than yours bothers me — interesting.”
    8. “You studied my body harder than my doctor. Should I send you the bill?”
    9. “Labeling me won’t fix whatever’s going wrong in your life.”
    10. “If ignorance had a face, it would look a little like that comment.”
    11. “Sweetie, gender isn’t determined by people who failed science and empathy.”
    12. “Thanks for the analysis, but I don’t accept feedback from amateurs.”
    13. “Funny how you’re obsessed with my gender when your personality is still under construction.”
    14. “If ignorance were currency, you’d be a billionaire.”
    15. “You’re mistaking loudness for correctness — common rookie mistake.”
    16. “I transitioned. You stayed stagnant. Guess who’s winning?”
    17. “Your comment says more about your fears than about my identity.”
    18. “I’m living authentically. You’re living loudly wrong.”
    19. “If you think repeating clichés makes you profound, I’ve got bad news.”
    20. “My truth is permanent. Your opinion expires the moment you say it.”
    21. “You’re auditioning for relevance, but the role’s already taken.”
    22. “I don’t debate my existence. I curate it.”
    23. “If you’re still worried about my bones in 100 years, that’s your obsession, not my identity.”
    24. “My life plays out now, not in an archaeological exhibit.”
    25. “Even if my bones are studied someday, they’ll never explain your lack of empathy.”
    26. “Bones tell anatomy. I tell humanity. Learn the difference.”
    27. “If your identity only fits inside a skeleton, no wonder you sound so hollow.”
    28. “My authenticity is visible in every breath, not in a hypothetical grave.”
    29. “In 100 years, I’ll be history. You’re already a footnote.”
    30. “Botany, biology, bones — none of them define the brilliance of my living truth.”

    Why clapbacks like these?
    Protect your dignity
    Show confidence
    Expose ignorance
    Don’t drag you into hate

    On PrideHives, we uplift each other — and sometimes uplifting means learning how to defend yourself with elegance and a razor‑sharp tongue.

    Stay fierce. Stay intelligent. Stay YOU.

  • Veel LHBTQIA vluchtelingen ontvluchten hun land omdat de situatie daar voor hen onhoudbaar en onveilig is. Maar in Nederland aangekomen belanden zij van de regen in de drup omdat zij in de AZC's hier te maken krijgen met mensen uit hetzelfde (onveilige) land waar zij vandaan komen en waar bijv. anti-homo regels gelden.

    Dit is voor homoseksuele , lesbische en transgender vluchtelingen een super onveilige situatie.

    Met deze reden willen Amsterdammers een AZC starten, specifiek voor LHBTQIA+ vluchtelingen.

  • 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.

  • TRANS ZICHTBAARHEID IS GEEN SPEELTERREIN – EN DIT MOET GEZEGD WORDEN

    De discussie rondom transgender vrouwen is opnieuw opgelaaid — dit keer door uitspraken van Jeffree Star, die zich fel uitliet over mannen die zich voordoen als transgender en vervolgens onze gemeenschap in een kwaad daglicht zetten. En eerlijk? Het is een gesprek dat we moeten voeren, maar dan wel met nuance, respect en realisme.

    In een recente TikTok wordt dit haarfijn uitgelegd en gekoppeld aan het gedrag van bepaalde individuen die duidelijk géén trans vrouw zijn, maar wel misbruik maken van onze ruimte, onze strijd en onze kwetsbaarheid. En dat kan niet.

    Video: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGdaWYkgD/

    Het probleem is niet dat iemand er vrouwelijk uit wil zien. Het probleem ontstaat wanneer mensen onze identiteit instrumentaliseren om grenzen te overschrijden, zich in ruimtes te begeven waar zij niet thuishoren, of simpelweg de trans community belachelijk maken. Dáár schuilt het gevaar — en dáár ontstaat de schade.

    Want laten we eerlijk zijn:
    Trans vrouwen hebben al genoeg te verduren.
    We knokken voor veiligheid, acceptatie, medische zorg en simpel menselijk respect.
    We hebben geen behoefte aan types die onze identiteit gebruiken als kostuum om aandacht te trekken of chaos te veroorzaken.

    En ja, Jeffree Star zegt dingen op een manier die soms lomp en pijnlijk hard is. Maar tussen de ruwe randjes zit één kernpunt waar we niet omheen kunnen:
    Mensen die doen alsof ze trans zijn terwijl ze dat niet zijn, beschadigen de geloofwaardigheid en veiligheid van échte trans vrouwen.

    Belangrijk:
    • Dit gaat niet over trans vrouwen.
    • Dit gaat niet over non-binaire mensen.
    • Dit gaat over misbruik van onze identiteit door mensen die géén deel zijn van onze community.
    • En dat mag benoemd worden zonder dat het transfobie is.

    We moeten hierover kunnen praten zonder meteen in kampen te vervallen. Want als we het laten gebeuren, raken wij — de echte trans vrouwen — opnieuw het meest gewond. En dat is precies wat we níét meer pikken.

    We moeten onze eigen grenzen beschermen, want niemand anders doet het voor ons.
    We moeten blijven benoemen wat schadelijk is.
    En we moeten blijven staan voor de waardigheid van trans vrouwen wereldwijd.

    Deel gerust jouw visie. Iedereen die échte trans vrouwen steunt, staat aan de juiste kant van de lijn.

    Zichtbaar. Veilig. Trots.

  • Let’s Talk About Clarity and Respect.

    There is a lot of confusion in the public debate, and this is often due to the mixing up of different concepts.

    Let's be honest: the vast majority of people know little about the complex reality of gender identity. As a result, a general, often negative, label is quickly attached to any situation that is not understood.

    This is the important distinction we need to make:

    * Transgender people: These are individuals whose gender identity does not correspond with the sex assigned at birth. They are simply trying to live their authentic lives, with dignity and in accordance with who they truly are. They are not seeking drama.

    * Other situations: Unfortunately, there are individuals who, for various reasons (such as fetishes, 'cross-dressing' in a non-transgender context, or even with malicious intent), dress in a way that the outside world might perceive as 'feminine'.

    The Problem: Uninformed media and politicians use the actions of this latter, non-transgender group, to sow fear and distrust. They create a false narrative where the actions of a few, often men with poor intentions, are equated with the entire transgender community.

    Confusion is the enemy of understanding.
    Clarity is the key to respect.
    We must focus on the fact that transgender people are real human beings, just like you and me. They deserve the safety and respect to live their lives without their identity being hijacked by misleading stories or the wrong actions of others.

    Let's not let fear win. Let the real stories be heard.

    * Stay strong and authentic.
    * Demand clarity, not assumptions.

  • We Need to Talk About Lilly Contino (and the bigger picture)

    There’s a disturbing trend happening right now — one that’s hurting us, the trans community, from the inside out. Over and over I’m seeing the same playbook: Certain individuals (some authentic, some who look authentic but whose actions are highly suspect) are positioned — intentionally or not — to act out in controversial ways, be picked up by the media, and used as ammunition against trans people as a whole.

    Take Lilly Contino for example. I don’t know every detail of her background (nor do we necessarily need to), but what I do know is that her public persona is becoming a lightning rod. Every provocation, every dramatic statement or action — it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It gets amplified. It feeds outrage. It fuels the narrative that “look, trans people are problematic, unpredictable, dangerous, attention-seeking.” And that narrative is exactly what certain political and media forces want.

    Think of it this way: it’s not just about Lilly. It’s about what Lilly’s presence enables. Once she’s out there doing her thing, the reaction is swift. Headlines. Clips. Social-media storms. Then, piped in: “See? This is what happens.” Then, bam — general suspicion, fear, hatred directed at our entire community. And who benefits? Those who already want to restrict, marginalise, degrade trans lives.

    So yes — I’m saying what many feel but few speak: I believe some of this is orchestrated. Or at least facilitated. It’s not a conspiracy theory — it’s a pattern. First you destabilise what “transgender” means in the public mind. Then you insert the extreme example. Then you generalise. And suddenly, the majority of trans people, who are just trying to live, become collateral damage.

    Here’s what I want to make clear:

    Most of us are not Lilly Contino-type. We’re ordinary. We’re quiet. We don’t hang around cameras looking for drama.

    We are real. We are human. We deserve integrity, support, respect.

    We see what’s being done. The playbook is visible. And the impact is real.

    We do not deserve to pay the price for someone else’s spectacle.

    We must reclaim the narrative. We must be the story of authenticity, dignity, creativity, resilience — not the story of chaos, shock-value and media hunger.

    So to everyone reading this: don’t buy the bait. Don’t let one loud example define a whole movement. And to my sisters and brothers in the trans community — keep living your truth. Keep being your creative, authentic selves. The haters will pick up anything they can. But that doesn’t mean we’re the problem. They are the problem.

    If we unite around what we really are (and I believe we will), we shift the story. And yeah… maybe we’ll get to a point where Lilly Contino is just one name among many — not the symbol of everything we allegedly represent.

    Stay strong. Stay visible. And above all — stay you.

    — Zohra

  • Gentle reminder to our trans siblings:

    Trans people face discrimination every day, but sometimes, that pain gets misdirected toward each other. It hurts to see trans folks shaming others for not being “passable,” for having features deemed “too masculine,” for being fat, or simply for not fitting into a narrow idea of what a woman “should” look like.

    We are all part of a marginalized community. We deserve safety, dignity, and celebration, not just from the world, but from each other.

    Tearing someone down doesn’t make you more valid. It doesn’t make you prettier. It doesn’t make you safer.

    Let’s choose kindness. Let’s uplift each other. Let’s be the kind of community we needed when we were younger.

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