I love how she refused to start pandering to these bullies. One of her tweets:

"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. I want people to know you can take hate with a smile. So BOOP you for misunderstanding."

I truly hope Disney will not ditch her in order to appease these self-absorbed victims-forever, but I fear it might happen nevertheless. Also, any news outlets or popular culture sites NEED TO QUIT writing about this small fraction of people who see ~literal oppression and violence~ bloody everywhere. BOOP them all, indeed.

I think she will withstand this. It sounds like she has a great friendship with her costar Pedro Pascal, and I think these idiots who are calling for Disney to fire her are a very small minority with no pull. Sure the low-rent media will publish some bullshit but there's no there there. They're trying to make it a thing, but most people don't care. Her message is as uncontroversial as it gets. Those articles will merely persist on the Internet as relics of one of the craziest times in modern Western history.

And what do the trans activists want to do, cause Gina to go full public TERF mode and tell everyone what she really thinks of Fallon Fox including both the danger posed by Fallon and how Fallon's success is derived not from skill or technique but the irreversible gifts of living as a male for 30+ years that no transition can take away?

She is a wonderful counterexample to gender ideology. Her very existence shows how regressive it is. She is a badass, built, athletic, and powerful, but also quite feminine in other ways. Yet she's proudly a woman, not trans, not non-binary. She is an excellent spokesperson for gender critical views, whether intentionally so or not.

Haha, nonsense neopronouns are mocking trans people? But a boop is anyone who identifies as a boop!

It's only nonsense if a non-trans person does it. Anything trans people do is infallible.

I would also like to add that Ronda Rousey, the other female MMA super star that often gets compared to Gina has also been TERFed.

Imagine writing this article about Ronda commenting on Fallon's physical advantages yet failing to mention that Fallon Fox had broken a woman's skull in the ring. Like how is that not THE most relevant information? https://www.themarysue.com/ronda-rousey-and-transmisogyny/

Two women's skulls (or so Fox bragged in a recent tweet).

I doubt any of them are fans.

Imagine being so entitled that you think you can shame-force an actor to put words in the bio of their social media. She owes them NOTHING
