What a bunch of sanctimonious, humourless, racist arseholes. Only my opinion of course.

“I’m not against trans lives at all. They need to find less abusive representation.”

God, what a brilliant response!

I love this.

I just hope she is tough enough to continue holding strong and not cave in to pressure. I know it is hard on actors who worry about employment.

You WILL say the words. Angry

May I suggest that everyone with SM accounts add "Beep, Boop, Bop" pronouns to their bios?

Her first response was so reasonable and kind, "hey, didn't know what the pronouns were. That's cool if you add yours. I'm not going to. Bullying people isn't good."

And still people attacked her.

They are rattled. As they should be.

Does anyone still use their MySpace account?

Or Vine account?

No? Why not? New platforms exist. More will rise up for her to go on. And now she'll have extra fame currency and support.

HerRoyalNotness · 15/09/2020 01:11

Her account had now been suspended! Angry

PurpleHoodie · 15/09/2020 01:00

She was an MMA fighter. Psyching won't work on her.

Stupid terrorist people: 'Woman. Do what we tell you, then shut the fuck up, and die"

Woman: 'No'.

These people seem to think they rule the world. Well done Gina for standing up to them. Hope more people get the courage to.

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 14/09/2020 23:33

Well she seems fabulous! “I’m not against trans lives at all. They need to find less abusive representation.” Star

StealthPolarBear · 14/09/2020 23:26

Did none of them stop to think that maybe these are her pronouns?
And if they're thinking that it's ridiculous, well that how many of us have been feeling for years.

WhereYouLeftIt · 14/09/2020 23:23

Good for her! She was the lead role in a film called 'Haywire' which I absolutely loved. She was kickass in that and she's kicking ass now.

TheGreatWave · 14/09/2020 23:19

This needs sharing far and wide, (though I didn't particularly like the write up, it seemed very loaded)

It is nothing to do with inclusivity and everything to do with plain old bullying.

KatVonlabonk · 14/09/2020 22:38

God they're obnoxious

Babdoc · 14/09/2020 22:29

Who the hell do these people think they are, trying to demand that she buys into their ideology, forcing her to list pronouns, then objecting to the ones she used and trying to get her sacked? Entitled narcissism, much?
Let’s hope their foul behaviour gets wide publicity- more people need to wake up and see just how threatening, vile and bullying these tactics are.

Whatsnewpussyhat · 14/09/2020 22:28

They really are pathetic little overindulged, whiney children on a massive power trip.
They cannot bear it when woman won't do as she is bloody told.

So adding pronouns when you don't need to is the latest 'be kind' bullshit, and if you refuse you are a transphobe and therefore, in their heads, evil and deserving of punishment?

To tell her they hope she dies just because she won't add fucking pronouns to her bio.

They truely are the worst type of bullies. Classic DARVO.

The irony of the tweeter saying "cis people don't get to determine what is harmful to trans people"

Males to not get to determine what is harmful to females then too? Yes?

UkuleleRose · 14/09/2020 22:05

I gave this whole mess a big think for about a minute and came up with this reply: JHFC. I've never seen the Mandolorian, but now I'll tune in to support Gina.

MondayYogurt · 14/09/2020 22:05

I liked her work in Haywire, she's genuinely powerful.

MillyMollyFarmer · 14/09/2020 21:59

I looked at her twitter, she’s fab! I love her response to the whole nonsense but I’m very sorry she has endured such awful crap for a month. They’ve sent some truly horrific things simply because she didn’t have pronouns in her bio.

GenderApostate19 · 14/09/2020 21:59

She’s fabulous in The Mandolorian too.
Lovely to see that she Dgaf

ArabellaScott · 14/09/2020 21:45

This woman is magnificent. Hadn't heard of her before, but I am loving beepbopboop and her refusal to be bullied.

SerenityNowwwww · 14/09/2020 21:42

When someone realised they are not The Boss of Everything.

“But but you hate to do what I say, I’m tellin’ teacher!“

Ereshkigalangcleg · 14/09/2020 21:38

Yes that's about it, Ova

Thedisco2000 · 14/09/2020 21:38

Incredibly rude and entitled to demand that a person you don't even know write exactly the things you want in their social media profile.

CoolYourBeansMySon · 14/09/2020 21:37

Wow. You go Gina! The more people that see this bullying for what it is the better.
