So is bridget trans or not?

Possibly spoiler warning so read on at your own risk


It's very confusing. I have not played Bridget yet, but apparently the bad ending shows them becoming a girl, and conforming to the identity that was forced on them.
Yet in the good ending they remain male and say "I will not change no matter what."?
The lack of pronouns on the official page means their gender could go either way based on the good or bad ending?
So what gives? Is Bridget trans or both and none?

Please be civil and don't just attack me for asking a question like the twitter folk do

if bridget's transness was invented by localizers, the designers, artists, and modellers at arc system works wouldn't have replaced the male symbol on her habit with the trans symbol. cope harder.

It's an androgyny symbol, which is different

not trying to argue, just pointing out

it is literally the crossed arrow from the universally recognized transgender symbol. sorry.

listen i'm not going to get into history and symbology here on the dumb steam forums but androgyny has always been represented by the mercury symbol by way of the cadecus, or the rose-and-cross -> ☿️ / 🜨

I'm stunned how you can claim to be supportive of something while having no understanding of it.

That's not the trans symbol, it's the androgyny symbol, what makes it distinct is it's one single pike with both Mars and Venus signs merged into one.

That's the opposite of "trans" which has multiple pikes, distinctly displaying Mars and Venus separately.

The universally regarded trans symbol is a three way tree. Circle in the middle, cross on the bottom, arrow with a dash through it on the left, and regular arrow on the right. The pin that new Bridget wears is whats regarded as the androgyny symbol where its just an arrow with a dash through it. Just wanted to point that out.

Love how people are so afraid of eating vegetable protein that they start seriously considering insects.

Anyway an exceptionally common part of the trans experience is a period of attempting very vigorously not to be trans. This works out extremely poorly and just makes us miserable.
There is no choice involved, we just are the way we are.

Incidentally, one of the (many, many) reasons Bridget being trans makes so much sense to trans people is precisely the period of time she spent loudly claiming to be a dude. It's relatable.

No, it's that eventually people won't have the choice, there's lots of stake holders who intend to make bank on bug protein, who also have a vested interest in reducing farm production of meat and vegetables for sake of being more "environmentally friendly", consider the food shortages that are coming for various reasons, bug protein is all you'll have to choose.

What the ♥♥♥♥ the thread went from trans discussion to bug protein, y'all wildin' lmfao.

Incidentally, those very same stakeholders probably lobbied for green energy changes that have led to the energy and heating crises we’ve seen across the globe recently.

We’re getting off-topic here so this is the last I’ll say on it, but I think we can all agree on this: regardless of how you identify, these people don’t want you living a good, healthy life.

Also, Bridget is adorable and must be protected.

You need to see your eye doctor, the little hair pin is the symbol for Androgyny, not Transgenderism.

i hope one day japanese people tell non-japanese people about Bridget's gender.

Okay okay but, no matter what we think about this, can we all at least agree that Bridget's new theme is a banger?

I'm sorta wary that anyone takes the coutner-argument about "femboys" seriously at all. These people don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about "femboys" (the word used by people who are LGBT is "Twink" by the way) they just want to try and cause a division in LGBT. Once they excise the "T" it's a smaller group to destroy. If they succeed at that, the next is trying to remove bisexuals, by "agreeing" with gay people that Bis are jsut in denial or whatever.

It's divide and conquer. These people believe there are two races: White and "political." Two sexualities, straight and "political." Their true itnentions show forth with this "groomer" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Absolutely every argument they make applies equally to bombarding kids with heterosexual imagery, they don;t care if you groom children to be straight.
