If you seriously think Bridget is trans you have a severe problem or simply wishful thinking that everyone is like you, please learn properly his story and why Strive ruined his entire motivation and character arc.

You guys have to understand once and for all that many times people wish to be the other gender because they see positives that they don't have, it doesn't mean that they FEEL as if they ARE that gender.
How many teenager girls say that they wish they were a boy once they start menstruating? Does this mean they are trans? No they are not. How many men nowadays say that they wish they were a girl because it's easier for women to start dating? Does this mean they are trans? No they are not, regardless of them being right on that thinking.

This character wants to be a girl because from his point of view and the escapism that he found (yuri), women in their game are exactly the opposite of what he is VIEWED by society. Everyone is scared of HIM and wishes he could be soft looking and be able to say cheesy lines without others being scared, so the first thing that comes to mind for him, is his yuri games. This doesn't mean he's trans, he simply has a dream where society doesn't run from him and talks to him. Him being afraid of not fully turning on the first chapter is because of his fear of being found out and kicked from his paradise, he's not afraid of having male genitalia.

It is for this reason that I long for the days when anime and video games was very niche and the audience was ppl who legit just wanted to enjoy them. Nowadays, with they becoming mainstream, we've got a lot of ppl that just want it to be about them. The Bridget situation is something I've learned to ignore(seriously, that topic pops up at least twice a month, Im over it lol), but people don't even bother looking at the origins of the damn character.

Getting on topic of this manga, it was clearly stated and established that the character, after being reincarnated, is a man body AND soul. Regardless of any type of stance you have in the subject, it can never be Yuri, because the dude is not one. A more accurate description is either femboy or crossdressing(or for weebs, a trap). I dont mind ppl wanting trans stuff in media, but I hate the fact that anytime we get a trap or something, it HAS to be about that.

Either way, we about to get bashed dude, but I agree with your comment lol

 

[DRKI]

Uncomfortably relatable protag.

 

[_Super_]

Why is the GL tag back? Who's in charge of these tags, and why do they keep flip-flopping? He's still a dude. This was very clearly established. The whole point of this is him... trying to hide the fact that he's a dude, no?

 

[kingthe13]

I just see a trap isekai. I'm all for it

this is even better then i first thought i was like cool another genderswap reincarnation with yuri to check out then i see its a trap and now im excited

 

[kingthe13]

honestly i would prefer being a trap over being a girl
why you may ask?
cause then i get all the perks of being cute with none of the monthly problems and i get to keep my little friend makes peeing so much easier

 

[Serverclosed]

Am I the only one who took this as a trans allegory 😭

Dark times make as weary.

With all due respect, friend,

"One point in her design that he was particular about was the symbol on her head piece. Originally the male symbol ♂, he had clear intention of changing it to a transgender symbol ⚦ for Guilty Gear Strive. When drawing the roughs, where he had already drawn her with the transgender symbol, the person in charge of cleaning up the model sheets accidentally drew her with the old design's symbol, but this mistake was corrected."
Man I made an account just to tell you get this goofy ah post out of here, you don't know nothing

"In conversations with Goldlewis Dickinson and Ky Kiske, Bridget expresses feeling unhappy but afraid of making the wrong choice, and the other characters relate to Bridget by sharing their own experiences of hiding secrets for the sake of others and of having the courage to reveal them and live as one's "true self", drawing a comparison to Bridget hiding her transgender identity. At the end of her hard-difficulty mode story, Bridget comes out as a woman to Goldlewis and Ky."

"Misinformation​

Following her inclusion in Guilty Gear Strive, some fans alleged that Bridget's trans identity was invented by the translation and localization team and was not present in the Japanese version of the game; additional rumors purported that she only comes out as trans in a "bad ending" and identifies as a cisgender man in other endings, with the implication that Goldlewis pressured her into identifying as female. Both claims were refuted by Akira Katano and Daisuke Ishiwatari in their Developer's Backyard blog. Katano stated that "although the difficulty and story dialogue of Arcade Mode change depending on your match results, this doesn't change the main plot, nor are there alternate endings such as 'good' or 'bad' endings. The same goes for other characters' Arcade stories as well", while Ishiwatari reaffirmed that "[a]fter the events of Bridget's story in Arcade Mode, she self-identifies as a woman. So, as to whether 'he' or 'she' would be the correct pronoun for Bridget, the answer would be 'she'."

"The creator of Guilty Gear, Daisuke Ishiwatari, stated that he always intended for Bridget to be a transgender character, confirming that she identifies as a woman in the latest game, Guilty Gear Strive. He emphasized that her story has consistently aimed to explore themes of identity and self-acceptance since her first appearance."

(this one I made by stapling more quotes into one)

This character wants to be a girl because from his point of view and the escapism that he found (yuri), women in their game are exactly the opposite of what he is VIEWED by society. Everyone is scared of HIM and wishes he could be soft looking and be able to say cheesy lines without others being scared, so the first thing that comes to mind for him, is his yuri games. This doesn't mean he's trans, he simply has a dream where society doesn't run from him and talks to him. Him being afraid of not fully turning on the first chapter is because of his fear of being found out and kicked from his paradise, he's not afraid of having male genitalia.

As stated above :

ah yes, the protagonist is saying normal cis guy things like "please let me wake up", "i hate this" and "why must you be so cruel, god" while having a normal cis guy moment in front of a mirror that every normal cis guy has ever now and then and isn't something experienced mainly by trans people with a certain name like perhaps "gender dysphoria". but that would be crazy as this is very clearly a cis guy who wasn't ecstatic because of thinking of being in a feminine body a moment before. clearly.

No person who is in the deepest pits of escapism would behave like that in this scenario
Or at least I think, I don't know, this is just my opinion
wdyt?

I know you're probably a troll
Which I mean, good on you, if you're having fun at least

But I will leave these snippets here
and the wikipedia link
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridget_(Guilty_Gear)#Misinformation
If anybody wants to do more research. Not even joking, I know opening and skimming through articles, checking them, or even skimming the wiki is kinda hard.
And maybe I don't know, maybe I got some things wrong, I'm just a guy

Please don't really reply, I don't really care
It's just manga, and not even that, a comment section for said manga. I just did this because I really care about this subject and, the more important thing, I used to be and still quite am very gullible and I think some "here have some quotes and links skim a bit" would've helped me a lot.

I hope you have a good day, really
master of the universe, right? It's cool
No harsh feelings
take care

it seems the premise isnt something I'd enjoy but what a title lol

If you seriously think Bridget is trans you have a severe problem or simply wishful thinking that everyone is like you, please learn properly his story and why Strive ruined his entire motivation and character arc.

You guys have to understand once and for all that many times people wish to be the other gender because they see positives that they don't have, it doesn't mean that they FEEL as if they ARE that gender.
How many teenager girls say that they wish they were a boy once they start menstruating? Does this mean they are trans? No they are not. How many men nowadays say that they wish they were a girl because it's easier for women to start dating? Does this mean they are trans? No they are not, regardless of them being right on that thinking.

This character wants to be a girl because from his point of view and the escapism that he found (yuri), women in their game are exactly the opposite of what he is VIEWED by society. Everyone is scared of HIM and wishes he could be soft looking and be able to say cheesy lines without others being scared, so the first thing that comes to mind for him, is his yuri games. This doesn't mean he's trans, he simply has a dream where society doesn't run from him and talks to him. Him being afraid of not fully turning on the first chapter is because of his fear of being found out and kicked from his paradise, he's not afraid of having male genitalia.

From my personal experience, the difference between wanting to be a girl and feeling like you are a girl is just about coming out.

Being pretty early in my transition and not having started HRT, it's honestly still pretty hard for me to honestly say "I am a woman." But as I continue to immerse myself in a woman's lifestyle, introducing myself with a new name, doing my makeup in the morning, buying way too many shoes, et cetera, I feel like I am getting closer to being able to say it. And regardless of whether I am a woman or not, it's undeniable that I have a condition such that living as one is the only workable option for me.

That you don't recognize the main character as transgender indicates to me one of two things about you. One possibility is that you just don't understand transgenderism as a concept. The other is that you understand it more deeply than you think, and maybe you should try putting on a bra sometime and see how it makes you feel 🙂.

Doesn't care, proceed to post a lot of text lol. No you have not read, Strive made Bridget transexual and RUINED the character - not because it's suddenly trans, but because that's not what Bridget was and it ruined his story which was about a boy who was abused by his parents, forced to crossdress and behave like a girl until he ran away in his quest to become a man, that is why he was a bounty hunter - because he thought it was a manly thing to do.

By making him trans, you are giving now the idea that to be trans you can just be GROOMED by your own family that crossdress you among other things. Do you want a proper trans character? Do not mock it by having such a start, have a person be healthy that is simply trying to understand who he or she is, definetly NOT like this and ruin the character.

The way it was handled was completely horrible for the character that Bridget was and completely horrible for the new Bridget by giving it such negative connotations. Did you realise how much people get pissed about his character being ruined but not certain scythe user? No? Must be because the story of Testament had no problems, unlike Bridget.

What's with these essay comments? Chill out people, it's not that deep. Just read the manga and have fun.
