Hailey Bieber had a few things to say after revealing in a new podcast interview that trolls sometimes ask her if she is transgender.
The 28-year-old model has never been one to shy away from calling out people online, as she's previously issued a harsh response to rumors of marriage trouble surrounding her and her husband, Justin Bieber. And that's seemingly not the only instance, either.
However, it's not just speculation about her marriage that Hailey has to deal with, as she recently revealed that she's also been subject to 'mean' comments about her gender identity.
On Friday (October 24), the Rhode Skin founder appeared on the In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele podcast, which is hosted by her friend, Owen Thiele.

At one point during their chat, the mom-of-one adjusts a pillow behind her, claiming that her denim jeans had bunched up and created the effect of a penis.
After Thiele makes a joke about her 'being hard', she then quips back: "The rumours are true."
The host seemed pretty surprised by her joke, asking 'Do people say that’, to which Hailey responded by saying that she has received 'trolling' comments from social media users asking if she is transgender.

"People are trying to be mean," she continued. "They're like, 'She looks trans'. And I'm like, why do you think that's a diss?"
She then went on to say: "As if being trans is a diss? They’re some of the most beautiful women in the world - and men - are trans.
"And so I just don't take that offensively at all.”
Hailey's comments received a lot of praise from podcast listeners, as one YouTube commenter said: “Love how she clapped the transphobic haters. Queen behavior fr."
Another said: “Hailey clocked people using "trans" as an insult,” while a third wrote: "I love Hailey sm, she's so beautiful and kind."

Elsewhere in the interview, she responded to more claims, such as the rumor that she runs her singer husband's career.
"A couple months ago it was like, ‘Hailey is doing management for her husband,’ like I’m taking over to be his manager," Hailey said.
“Like, there’s no world which that would ever…but also that’s my husband, what do we think is going on here?”
This speculation also doesn't bother her, as she said she thought that claim was 'really funny', adding: "Because it was so ridiculous and far-fetched.”
