Studies on social exclusion towards transgender individuals have used the term transphobia to refer to violent behaviors against trans people. The objective of this qualitative study is to critically analyze the use of the term transphobia, its suitability, and the possibility of replacing it with the term transhate, given its functionality in accurately identifying hate crimes and other practices of social exclusion towards trans individuals. From a methodological standpoint, the research was based on the grounded theory approach, considering its relevance in generating theories from the data obtained from social networks in the analyzed context. Among the most noteworthy results of the study, using this methodology, is the identification of codes related to political trans-exclusion and trans-hate, a situation that ultimately contributes to the preservation of a social system of trans vulnerabilization. It is thus established that trans-hate is a cause of political trans-exclusions and other vulnerabilizations towards trans identities in all social spheres, namely: family, education, and health, among others. In summary, this study highlights the urgent need to address transhate and political transexclusion as systemic forms of vulnerabilization against transgender individuals. In fact, the adoption of the term "transhate" in the legal and academic fields could mark a turning point in the fight against hate crimes and discrimination.
