Hailey Bieber calmly and confidently shut down online trolls after facing comments calling her transgender.
The model and Rhode founder addressed the remarks during her recent appearance on Owen Thiele’s In Your Dreams podcast, turning hatred into a message of respect.
The 27-year-old said the comparisons don’t bother her, explaining: “Trans women and trans men are some of the most beautiful people in the world.
So if someone says I look like a trans woman, I just think they’re calling me beautiful.
The beauty mogul’s statement quickly went viral, earning praise from fans and the community for her dignified and empowering response.
However, many praised her for handling hatred with grace rather than anger and for using her platform to promote kindness and inclusiveness.
For those who don’t know, this isn’t the first time Hailey has spoken out in support of the community.
In 2023, Justin Bieber’s wife signed an open letter from GLAAD urging social media companies, including those led by Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk and Shou Zi Chew, to take stronger action against online hate and misinformation targeting queer communities.
Fans celebrated her approach, with one user on X writing: “Hailey Bieber turning a transphobic comment into a compliment is how you deal with trolls, pure class.”
Hailey’s calm response and refusal to let online hate affect her highlighted why she is often considered one of Hollywood’s most calm and confident public figures.
