In 2023, Tyson became the subject of widespread online controversey after revealing that she had begun hormone replacement therapy, a treatment commonly utilized by transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals. In the midst of various transphobic remarks circulating Twitter, Donaldson expressed his support for and defended Tyson.[3]
On July 21, 2023, Tyson officially came out as a transgender woman during an interview with YouTuber Anthony Padilla as part of the latter's I Spent a Day With... series.[4]

In November of 2020, Tyson publicly came out as bisexual via Twitter.[8][6] In early 2023, she publicized her beginning hormone replacement therapy on her social media accounts, while changing her displayed pronouns to "any" on Twitter.[9] These actions prompted criticism from Australian YouTube personality Lachlan Windross, best known by his online alias Sunnyv2, in a video entitled "Why Chris Will Soon Be A Nightmare For MrBeast."[10] This led Donaldson to react on Twitter, denouncing Windross' claims that Tyson's increasingly feminine persona would harm his brand.[11]
