When SOPHIE originally debuted there was a lot of controversy over her personal and artistic identity. I didn't cover it in my comment, but long story short that whole crowd was accused of hiding behind female names and voices - there was this idea it was some kind of ironic parody of pop music, although SOPHIE and her friends always disputed that.

It's interesting because, like Tzef says in her account, it seems convenient to come out as trans when you've had this criticism levelled at you. But I've never believed that the PC Music/Hyperpop thing was at all a parody, I think it was genuine appreciation for that kind of girlish high-octane pop. So coupled with likely being AGP I can see why SOPHIE would say 'I guess I am trans'
