Line 67:
** In a sadder example, one of the dwarves in ''[[Discworld/The Fifth Elephant|The Fifth Elephant]]'' ''hates'' Cheery, a dwarf who openly admits she's female (most dwarf women don't). The dwarf in question is a woman herself, and is jealous of how Cheery's allowed to be who she really is.
* In the ''[[Realm of the Elderlings|Farseer]]'' trilogy by [[Robin Hobb]], Burrich tries to repress signs of the Wit in Fitz because he himself is trying to hide that he has the Wit.
* In the [[Strugatsky Brothers]] novel ''[[Prisoners of Power (Literature)|Prisoners of Power]]'' it turns out that the political junta which ordered the persecution of the "deviants" is composed entirely of deviants itself. They don't do it out of bigotry though - {{spoiler|deviants are the only members of the populace who are immune to the [[Mind Control]] which the junta uses to stay in power.}}
** Toyvo Glumov in ''The Time Wanderers''.
* Voldemort in ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]''. One of the goals of the Death Eaters was the elimination of any wizard who wasn't pure blooded, specially if they were muggleborn, but Voldemort himself was a half-blood. But then, he ''is'' based off [[Adolf Hitler]].
