For when your being racist or a bigot towards your own race or gender?

I saw a picture on Reddit of some unclockable trans guys and one said " I didn't transition to look like Elliot Page." And I know people have issues with Elliot for a variety of reasons and one of them is that they think he doesn't pass and still looks feminine.

Idk. I was just wondering if theres a word for it.

Internalized bigotry? Or instead of bigotry insert homophobia or transphobia or racism?

It could also be just anxiety or fear speaking or maybe the person just has self deprecating sense of humor, again arising out of some other emotion

What a dumb comment though. Elliot Page most certainly pass as a man and doesn’t look feminine. Sure not very macho look but not every man looks or has to look macho!

I can't think of a widely used word which covers those things except maybe "traitor" but that's a very general word. Not that I personally think that way, myself.

The one coined term I came up with is "auto-bigot" or something like that. It's a made up term I know. I don't think there's a direct word for it.
