Star Wars: Mandalorian star Gina Carano accused of ‘mocking trans people’ with ‘boop/bop/beep’ pronouns joke
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: “They’re mad cuz I won’t 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.”
(…)
On Twitter, she recently said that Pedro Pascal, who plays The Mandalorian’s lead character, explained to her the purpose behind including pronouns in one’s biography.
“Yes, Pedro & I spoke & he helped me understand why people were putting them in their bios,” she wrote. “I didn’t know before but I do now. I won’t be putting them in my bio but good for all you who choose to.”
Beep/bop/boop has zero to do with mocking trans people ?& ? to do with exposing the bullying mentality of the mob that has taken over the voices of many genuine causes.

Seit wann ist das mit dem Pronomen so ein Thema bei Twitter?
