Bridget is a japanese term called " onopokonoko " or something like that which just means " raised as a girl " - in bridget's hometown there was a myth that twins of the same gender were cursed so they dressed and raised bridget as a girl, in ancient times we'd call him a " trap " but nowdays the term is " femboy " - the " bridget is trans!! " thing is a mis-translated line from strive that only exists in the dubbed version ( go figure ) but the trans community are so desperate to claim every popular femboy or " trap " in anime that they took the line and ran with it saying " bridget is trans and anyone who disagrees is a bigot " only this time for some reason it actually worked ( every other attempt failed miserably ) and the majority of people think he's trans now - one of the biggest claims you'll run into trying to argue this is that " guilty gear's creator said so! " but this statement is absolutely nowhere to be found.
I mean I think arcsys rolled with it because they make testament more masculine and gave them a trans va.
