I don't think she got exposed to gamma radiation, she got a blood transfusion from Banner. So no, gamma radiation is still sexist.

Banner is a gamma source iirc, especially when Hulk is out

Ironically it's only Spider-Man that has killed women with radioactive sperm

God Marvel's hateon for Spider-Man is getting old, was old when they did that bit too.

Maybe. But IIRC it's still not the reason she got the powers. I think it was because they were related or something, she was able to incorporate Hulk blood somehow. She didn't become She-Hulk due to massive exposure to radiation.

She became a gamma mutant through gamma exposure through Banner, but she became she hulk instead of Cancer Woman because she's Banners cousin. Makes you wonder how widely the Hulk gene is spread in that family waiting for a gamma burst to wake it up
