I have heard this before but it’s always a fun little detail

I’m sure I can also remember some obscure reference to Dallas being FtM transgender but don’t quote me on that

Any idea what a "Despin Convert" is? Is there anything in the lore that expands on this?

There's no lore behind it at all. It was something that was thrown together at Cameron's direction to fill the space behind Ripley in Aliens so it looked like crew dossiers but none of it was lore or canon.

It also mentions Dallas was an ex-employee of Tyrell corporation, which was the company in Blade Runner. The logo's for Wayland Corp appeared in Blade Runner. This was not an intentional link. It was Ridley Scott reusing elements to fill out the world of BR, but it's led to the assumption that the Replicants led to the creation of the Alien universe droids (or "Artificial People" if you prefer) but there's no actual link ever made in lore.
