It's a problem with everybody with a penis. It's sure it presents itself as an issue with people with vaginas. It's such a prevalent thing that the no reason boner was a meme during my adolescence.
Sorry, but as a femboy enjoyer, I lost hope for that coexistence and potential of alliance after watching the mess with Bridget, the celebration that followed, and the responses that "femboy erasure is good and necessary". There were numerous less prominent examples afterwards too. After seeing all that, it's hard not to perceive transing attempts as attacks on things I like.
TBH, Bridget was always kind of an uncomfortable character to begin with. The whole bit of dressing as a girl out of a sense of obligation as opposed to their own personal choice. I did celebrate Bridget announcing they feel they're a girl, but less because I'm out to erase femboys or push trans stuff but just happy to see Bridget taking agency for their identity after being so passive about it for so long. I feel similarly about Mai Natsume from BlazBlue, who admittedly was physically female for her whole identity arc.
"She", not "they"
I'm curious about the former. Can you share a link?
It's notable how you reject even an attempt at neutrality.
The two situations I mentioned were previous actual chapters in the mainline series. Admittedly the big boobs TS Minato turned out to be a dream Aoi had. I'm speculating that the next anthology volume will have both a TS girl Minato chapter and a different chapter with more crossdressing femboy Minato hijinx. The core Japanese audience won't be at loggerheads with each other, they'll just be celebrating Minato regardless.
Deliberately calling a trans woman "they" is misgendering. Bridget is a girl, to call her "they" is denying her her womanhood.
First of all, Bridget isn't a real person so she doesn't need her dignity defended as if she were. Two, Bridget's trans status is more implicit than explicit because the culture that produced her has an extremely different approach to the concept of identity in the first place. (it's a tl;dr but it's a collectivist culture thing)

This is the dumbest take I have ever seen on this subject...
which is not what MidnighTea was doing in the slighest and we both know it.
which is the trans woman in question saying she is completely okay with misgendering a cis woman intentionally out of pure spite which only makes her the exact same person she is spiting and more importantly you are trying to call out.
Wait did this really happen? I only watched season 1 so havent heard of this
It really did. Specifically she wore a ribbon where her hair would be the blue part of the flag, but that S2 episode was on the nose as you could possibly get. (including Lily throwing shade at the concept of policing bathrooms)
Ah, I thought "Minato as a big-boobed squirming TS girl complementing Mahiro's own TS moe" was an actual scene from the anthology (and read it as "complimenting"). I understand what you meant now.
No it's not.
Doesn't really matter when the real actual people who created her are explicitly saying she's trans.
I mean, it's on Reductress the satire website so sure, it's not a proper article I'll give you that one.
Are you some kind of alt right false flag? Is what why you're saying what you are how you are?
The femboy->transfem pipeline is real, and genuinely happens, like a lot. A recent high profile case ofc would be F1nnster, who was all like "I'm 100% man and just doing this because i'm paid to", until he started taking E. Bridget's evolution is just a character arc, a play on that, and makes sense given the queerness of the guilty gear universe and its playing with gender. Guess what? Ferris is also transfem coded, which is significantly more implied in the books than the anime.
Hmm? Wtf are you talking about?
Alrighty, fair enough. I still think if that was the direction they wanted they could've executed on it better but that's as unambiguous as it gets. (and perfect is the enemy of the good anyway)
