That’s a video of her being interviewed near the end she talks about why you can call yourself a maker to the host who feels he is a passive observer even though he has tinkered.
If you go to her channel, watch the build for her LED transparent bikini top for example. That can’t be faked by her husband, she demonstrates skills with the tools that many people on HN don’t even have.
Is she an electrical engineer? No, she’s a tinkerer, but what’s wrong with that?
A beautiful girl decides she wants to tinker, is into transhumanisn and body modification, uses her popularity to encourage other girls and women. Does it even matter if she has help?
I mean the guys on Mystbusters have a production staff too as do many YouTubers have collaborators.
Why do we only doubt Women’s ability or downplay it? Is it not real real because she’s attractive? Because an attractive woman couldn’t possibly be into hacking and making?
What does an engineer “look like”? What does a hacker “look like”?
Naomi already coded ruby under a male pseudonym for this very reason, to avoid gender discrimination.

I mean, the language ability disparity is one of about ten implausible things in the original piece: http://archive.is/GE0he http://archive.is/GE0he Why doesn't anyone respond directly to this blogpost? You would think that, if the goal was to convince people to believe that Sexy Cyborg is completely authentic, maximum transparency would be the appropriate strategy. Instead what we see is maximum invective. It doesn't make your case more convincing, I think, that you maneuver sideways into "so what if it's true, it doesn't matter." Two orthogonal arguments are usually not better than one.
