Wow, yes, it would appear the journalist doesn't buy into this person's hype about themselves.
Many of the MTFs in tech are very into AI and trying to make artificial life. All of this seems to be about thinking regular women are really quite insufficient, and wanting to make their own perfect woman, like the movie "Weird Science."
When regular women nearby just won't do, some men go marry a foreign woman they've stereotyped as being very different. Some decide to become a woman themselves, and show us all how it's done. And some, apparently, try to enter the tech world to make sure it can be done technologically.
Martine Rothblatt has made their wife's likeness as a robot who cries about not being human. There's something very creepy about this contingent of males seeking female replacement, especially when it comes at the same time as discussion of growing babies outside the womb.
It won't be long, mark my words, before some men start agitating for biological women to be considered obsolete and not worth having in a society. We're a couple of tech developments away (mostly out-of-womb embryo/fetus development), but in 100 years, I expect they'll be literally trying to exterminate us.
