Not at all. It is clear she's not a trans. The beefing up is simply a result of what she imposed on herself to make sure she'll get through her personal mission/vendetta. And outside of her arms and shoulders, she's really not that beefy and certainly not outside of the realm of plausibility.

I can't believe how stupid the nitpicks get with some of you guys.

I think it is not stupid at all. I believe she is not trans, but Neil created the character in a clear way to generate this question and buzz. 

I dont think she is, but it wouldnt be a surprise for me if in the next game she comes out as trans.

Yeah, why throw in all this ambiguity in Abby's character? Just be bold and make it clear that she is trans or that she isn't. Perhaps it's as a shield against criticism, because Neil knew that his treatment of Joel would be hated. "You wouldn't hate this character, would you? She could belong to a minority, so hating her could make you a bigot, you know? And she's a woman in any case, so we're covered on that front, no hate allowed." If Joel was killed by a run-off-the-mill straight white guy, the defense core wouldn't have a leg to stand on and we would get to the meat of the issue.
