You do realize poison is a girl, right? They changed it in the name of feminism, which when you really think about it makes no sense.

To be fair, that's basically her original backstory as I understand it. Concepted as female, changed to trans for some reason I cannot remember.

Changed to trans on some point and even become a different character altogether in some version of her game, because 'some people' doesn't feel too comfortable beating up a female character in a game.

Nope. Poison was always trans, or a "new-half" (ニューハーフ nyūhāfu), as the subject had become trendy at the time was created. The "discomfort" was over how far she had transitioned; she was (and is) officially pre-op in Japan, but American squeamishness made her post-op.

The exact gender of her palette-swap, Roxy, is not as definite. While their concept art has the word "new-half" between Poison and Roxy, Poison has long since become officially trans-female while Roxy is generally considered cis-female.
