She-Hulk actress Jameela Jamil has shut down transphobic trolls on Twitter in the best way after they mocked the actress for removing her pronouns from her bio.
Jamil, a long-time LGBTQ+ ally, had reworked her Twitter account while She-Hulk episodes were releasing online, so it appeared to be run by her character – super-powered, social-media obsessed Titania – from the Marvel series.
In doing this, she’d also removed the ‘she/her’ pronouns from her name and bio; something trolls picked up on.
A Twitter user, whose feed is almost entirely made up of anti-trans content, tweeted: “Only just noticed Jameela Jamil no longer has pronouns in either display name or bio” alongside three laughing/crying emojis and three ‘OK’ hand signal emojis, to which Jamill has expertly clapped back.
Clarifying why she removed her pronouns in the first place, she wrote: “I had temporarily made my account a Titania account while my show was on, so removed my personal info.”
Someone just tagged me in your self important post. I… don't know who you are…. sorry. I had temporarily made my account a Titania account while my show was on, so removed my personal info, now the show has ended, I'm back to my original account… sorry to burst your bubble! pic.twitter.com/yc1L4S1z9q

The original account continued her thread, claiming Jamil only put the pronouns back because of her tweet.

Clarifying that this wasn’t the case, Jamil wrote: “Also… no offense, but a few thousand likes isn’t ‘viral.'”
To shut the whole thing down, Jameela Jamil then dubbed the original poster: “Karenheit 9/11.”
The actress often engages in debates on Twitter, most recently about backlash to the She-Hulk series. She highlighted the benefits of engaging with critics, but emphasised that some viewers had been unnecessarily nasty about the show.
The series, which feature a group of incels as antagonists, has been regularly review-bombed by Marvel fans who continue to be furious at the existence of any female-led Marvel project.
The first female-led film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was 2019’s Captain Marvel, its 21st movie.
Since then, Black Widow, WandaVision, Ms Marvel and She-Hulk have bought the total up to five female-led Marvel projects, of the many movies and TV shows Marvel and Disney have produced over the past decade.

Jameela Jamil has been a longstanding and vocal activist for the LGBTQ+ community, coming out as queer herself in 2020.
She is also a fierce trans ally, issuing messages of support and standing up to Boris Johnson over alleged plans to ban trans women from single-sex bathrooms.
She is also a judge alongside Megan Thee Stallion and actress Keke Palmer on HBO’s Legendary, a reality TV voguing competition which centres around the world of queer ball culture.
