Carano has previously been under fire for insensitive social media posts. In September, the actress faced backlash when she changed her Twitter bio to read “beep/bop/boop” — which some people believed was an insensitive reference to preferred pronouns social media users often include in their profile pages.
“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 I’m not against trans lives at all,” shetweetedat the time.
Carano later removed the words. She explained that herMandaloriancostarPedro Pascal— whose sister Lux recentlycame out as a transgender woman— helped her “understand why people were putting them in their bios.”
“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,” she wrote in a tweet. “I stand against bullying, especially the most vulnerable & freedom to choose.”
Sheadded in another tweet, “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.”
