Gina Carano, star of the Disney+ Star Wars spin-off The Mandalorian, has faced criticism from fans after making transphobic social media posts. She had faced calls to add her pronouns to her Twitter biography (a common practise among transgender and cisgender social media users to help avoid misgendering).
However, in response to the demand, the actor added the words boop/bop/beep to her Twitter name, in apparent ridicule of the convention. Defending her actions in a subsequent Tweet, Carano wrote: Theyre mad cuz I wont put pronouns in my bio to show my support for trans lives. After months of harassing me in every way. I decided to put 3 VERY controversial words in my bio.. beep/bop/boop. Im not against trans lives at all. They need to find less abusive representation, she added.
She also defended the joke, saying: Beep/bop/boop has zero to do with mocking trans people & [everything] to do with exposing the bullying mentality of the mob that has taken over the voices of many genuine causes.
Twitter needs to get nuked.
