I didn't quite read her statement as being that fanfic itself is about fixing the gender representation in fiction so much as that fanfic presents an avenue for those who are excluded (such as women from active roles) to put ourselves into the story. As an example, if I can write a story from Jim Kirk's POV, I can imagine being a starship captain even though I'm a woman and there was a whole episode about how women can't be captains. (For a ten-year-old value of me who had only seen TOS.)
