    "We’ve received many inquiries about Bridget’s gender. After 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.”
    As mentioned in her character profile, Bridget was born as the younger twin son and then raised as a girl by her parents to protect her from a village superstition.
    Despite their intentions to protect Bridget, it pained her parents to do so as they felt they were forcing her to live a certain way.
    Bridget, realizing this, attempted to bring wealth to the village while behaving like a man, thus overturning the village superstition, as a way to free her parents from their guilt.
    As a result, the superstition faded, and nothing remained to restrict how both Bridget and her parents lived.
    After this, Bridget tries living as a man, but it doesn’t feel right.
    This is where the Arcade Mode story begins. After her exchanges with Goldlewis and Ky, Bridget faces parts of herself she has tried to ignore, and makes a big decision for herself.
    I hope that all of you will watch over her path after her courageous choice to stay true to her own feelings."
    I don't care what Ishiwatara has to say.

    So you disregard the one who creates the game, who also acts as designer for character, story and music.
    Because you dislike her being Trans.

    Or on what basis do you think you reasonable can claim your opinion over the very direct confirmation made be the person who made the character?

    Wouldn't be the first creator that has made stupid decisions with their characters. Let's butcher a character's personality, and retcon everything that came before it, because "reasons". Yeah, no. Their opinion can be discarded, just like every other dog water sequel that trashes established lore.

    can't see word "trans" anywhere. why didn't he call bidget trans, if the point was to elucidate her feelings about herself?

    i suspect: maybe japanese cultural pov (which the creator might have more likely than any other - correct if im wrong <3) handles what other places call "trans" differently. we have all seen it:
    busybodies in university x learn of hijra/2spirit/oshtisch/sipiniq/koekchuch/mahu/etc and think "heureka, all of that = trans!", because they see them as analogs. as if the cultural layer was so insignificant. of course it isn't.

    not saying i am some kind of expert, no no no. but i was under understanding that japan, as culture, after you peel off modern/foreign stuff trying to sway it --
    (not bad thing, cultures change, but it's usually truly lasting change when it's as close to organic as possible, when majority adopts the change)
    -- is of that sort which for cultural cohesion would like to see their homosexuals conform. preferably by not normalizing same-sex couples, but encouraging same sex couple to look like hetero couple. so, one of them better do the social transition at least.

    was under the understanding that that's common-ish in asia
