There is a rumor going on that she is actually a he. Many also think he has some sort of bipolar issues. But some of the craziest people can be very talented at some things. This is the case with this person. It's actually extrememly rare that the person can be that crazy and this talented at same time. This is why it's so fascinating.

Interesting. Do you know if they would be masquerading as a woman to push their weird agenda, or just to troll? It is definitely interesting when people are crazy and talented like that, though in this case the talent is more interesting for sure… their grandstanding and transphobic takes aren’t really an original or unique brand of crazy, pretty basic. I would probably have to dig deeper to see the depths of the weirdness but my brain only has so much tolerance for consuming that kind of bs.

Good chance it's for OPSEC reasons and is a small, highly skilled team, not a single woman.

This is the most plausible explanation to me as well
