Specifics of her programming SGL?
I have no doubt she did notable programming work on the Saturn's SGL. But I'm curious about the specifics. Short of just messaging her, I wonder - SGL is attributed to Sega AM2. Either she worked with AM2 directly somehow, or worked on the SoA-side's implementation of it. I don't have enough information right now to confidently write either into the article, but I'm sure a little research should find something. In the meantime, wanted to put this here if anyone had any insight/info/etc :) CartridgeCulture (talk) 01:45, 31 October 2021 (EDT)

She may be trans.
I know there's an entire section stating that she gets misgendered. The last line says she isn't trans, but doesn't give a source for when she said that, no link to it, and the forum she said it on, she hasn't logged into her account since 2006, but the sentence claims she said that in 2021? Also, if you look at that old photo of the man attributed to be her in that magazine scan... the facial features look very similar. And in some of her photos, her features look a bit ambiguous. Almost like she has some facial hair shadow, shoulders a bit broad, and her nose is so slim but looks artificially so, like facial feminization surgery.
It's just very unlikely to me that someone would get misgendered so many times, and even a false picture of a random male attributed to them. The most likely story is, she's trans. And that's completely fine.
Also, if you're wondering why she may not be out, some trans people want to live in stealth. Another game dev, Brianna Wu, tried to do the same thing, even flat out called herself a cis woman, even though she isn't. And Nikki Tutorials was stealth for a long time before coming out. If Christina doesn't wanna say she is trans, she doesn't have to.
I think the entire "Misgendering" section should be removed.
