Has anything in particular happened with regards to her recently?

She's trans. She recently reviewed LA Noire and apparently gamers at Gamespot went apeshit. ("she's trans, it's a move by gamespot for a social message," "she's trans, so that diverts attention from the review" kinds of things and worse which I can only imagine.) I think most of those posts have been deleted by now. I only heard about this yesterday from Arthur Gies of Rebel FM.

I knew that she was a transwoman, but I didn't think anything of it. Those comments that were removed show how misinformed people still are today. I imagine that there will be many (rightfully so) banned accounts at GameSpot after all this.
