Overall, it is interesting and cool to see Rooster Teeth making trans and gender fluid characters in settings that have better technology than we do.

Like how gen:LOCK has a gender fluid character who is implied to undergo changes to his (when we last left off, he identified as male) body to match his gender identity, which means the world of gen:LOCK has technology and medical science capable of facilitating repeated transitions. They even went so far as to show him in his male appearance in the mental space kind of thing, when he teamed up with another character through the mind network thingy, even though he has not had an opportunity to transition his body in the physical world.

Rooster Teeth is doing their best, and I think the important part is that they're doing this from their hearts, not in a move to appease the LGBT community. It has simply come off rather clumsily in RWBY.
