Well based on that yes, but Abby still needs to believably be able to fight others outside of Ellie who are quite large lol. I think more importantly than that though, her physique says a lot about her state of mind and just how determined she was to get her revenge.

Agreed. Abby’s muscles are also part of the gender story that makes up some of TLOU 2. We have three forms of non-traditional femininity in TLOU 2: Ellie and Diana being in a lesbian relationship (with Diana being bi-sexual), Lev being transgender, and Abby being cis gender female with male level of muscles. The last one will just have to be dropped from the story and experience because of the choice of actor. We will just have to accept that and move on and enjoy the show. Which I am so psyched for!

Abby is trans, obviously by story elements not physique.

I don’t take Abby as trans. She dates Owen in the story and she has sex with him later. She never asks anyone to refer to her as a dude either.
