Actress Jameela Jamil starts a Twitter trans war after misgendering someone who insulted her



Actress Jameela Jamil opened up a can of furious nonsense when she told people that putting their pronouns in their profiles wasn't good enough after she misgendered a critic.

Jamil apologized for misgendering someone who criticized and said she didn't have time to look at profiles when firing back on social media.

"I accidentally misgendered someone who was rude to me on here because I did not know they were NB. I instantly corrected myself but NOBODY reads your bios people," Jamil wrote.

\u201cI accidentally misgendered someone who was rude to me on here because I did not know they were NB. I instantly corrected myself but NOBODY reads your bios people. *PLEASE* include your pronouns in your name on here to prevent misunderstandings/offense if it's important to you.\ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffd\u201d

"*PLEASE* include your pronouns in your name on here to prevent misunderstandings/offense if it's important to you," she added.

"OBVIOUSLY sorry for making this innocent mistake," Jamil said in a second tweet. "But if we don't do more to prevent this mistake it will likely keep happening, which is bad for everyone. Put pronouns in your names. I've just done that with mine. It took two seconds."

Trans activists pounce

Jamil's suggestion was met with bitter scorn by some in the LGBTQ community.

"You have zero right or footing to tell trans people how to clearly state their identity or pronouns. if you want to reply to someone or call them out or whatever, the least you can do to respect their pronouns is click on the profile you're about to tweet at or subtweet," replied one person who identified as bi-sexual.

"It isn’t an innocent mistake when you continuously misgender and double down on what you said. f*** off with that performative activism," read another tweet.

"Why are you centering yourself in this conversation? youre not the one who got misgendered," responded another user.

"Im glad that you’re apologizing, but you’re putting the blame on the person you misgendered by saying they aren’t presenting the information in a way that works best for you. If you want to be an ally, then own the blame fully yourself and take an extra second to check the bio," said a person identifying as trans.

"It’s literally not their fault if you didn’t read their bio, stop blaming them for your carelessness," read another popular tweet.

The outspoken actress has previously made headlines for saying that her life was more important than an unborn fetus. She also tweeted in April that she was leaving Twitter permanently after Elon Musk entered into negotiations to buy the social media platform.

Jamil is best known for her role in the NBC series "The Good Place" and as a supervillain in Disney's "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law," series.

Jameela Jamil posts her 'last tweet,' suggests Elon Musk's 'free speech bid' will result in 'totally lawless hate, bigotry, and misogyny' on Twitter



Actress Jameela Jamil posted what she called her "last tweet" on Monday in the wake of news that Elon Musk had struck a deal to purchase the company.

Musk has said that he intends to make Twitter a platform that allows people to participate in free speech.

"Ah he got twitter. I would like this to be my what lies here as my last tweet. Just really *any* excuse to show pics of Barold. I fear this free speech bid is going to help this hell platform reach its final form of totally lawless hate, bigotry, and misogyny. Best of luck," she tweeted.

In an earlier tweet on Monday, Jamil had said, "He’s buying it for free speech. It’s going to become an even more lawless hateful xenophobic, bigoted, misogynistic space." In another tweet she had also said that Twitter will become a place where "people who already have no money" get "manipulated about crypto."

Because it\u2019s going to become a lawless space of bigotry , misogyny, and xenophobia and people who already have no money\u2026 being manipulated about crypto.

Democrat Howard Dean also appears to have departed from Twitter — his account "no longer exists" according to the platform. The former Vermont governor and former chair of the Democratic National Committee tweeted on Monday that "If Musk takes over Twitter I will be off within a few hours."

Twitter announced on Monday that the company "entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk, for $54.20 per share in cash in a transaction valued at approximately $44 billion." The press release noted that once the transaction has completes, the social media platform will be a privately held business.

"The extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all," Musk tweeted on Tuesday. "By 'free speech', I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people."
