Guilty Gear Strive players celebrate as Bridget comes out as trans woman YouTube: Arc System WorksRevealed in a Guilty Gear Strive, Bridget officially came out as a trans woman during a conversation with Ky and Goldlewis. Fans of the game celebrated her gender confirmation, which has been a long time coming. Guilty Gear Strive recently debuted Bridget, which didn\u2019t come as much of a surprise due to the character\u2019s earlier popularity. But what surprised the fans was Arc System Works\u2019 decision to finally take a stance on Bridget\u2019s gender identity. For context, Bridget was born as one of two male twins. But her village believed male twins to be an ill omen, going as far as killing one of the twins to prevent superstitious misfortune. To prevent this, her family treated her as a girl her entire life, creating conflicting thoughts of self-identity. This resulted in an ambiguous gender identification, which has characterized Bridget for years. But Bridget officially came out as a transwoman in the latest gameplay trailer and the community is ecstatic for her. The reveal occurred in a cut scene after an Arcade battle, where Bridget confided to Goldlewis and Ky with concerns about her future. Bridget started the conversation by expressing a vague concern: \u201cI\u2019m too scared of losing what I have.\u201d Goldlewis reassured Bridget, \u201cyou got your whole life ahead of you kid, gotta learn how to take a hit.\u201d Ky added on, \u201cthere are helping hands right in front of you.\u201d After reassurance, Bridget confidently stood up. \u201cI don\u2019t want to run scared anymore.\u201d She continued her speech, \u201cfrom now on, no matter what, no more lying to myself.\u201d At this point, it\u2019s a little unclear exactly what Bridget was struggling with, but they have a support system to help them through. The resolute Bridget bowed, \u201cthank you! Both of you!\u201d Relieved to see Bridget energized, Goldlewis responded, \u201cDon\u2019t mention it. Happy trails cowgirl. Or, uh, cowboy\u2026?\u201d Bridget responded, \u201cCowgirl is fine! Because I\u2019m a girl!\u201d Before now, the question of Bridget\u2019s gender had always been a bit of a mystery \u2014 perhaps because she hadn\u2019t quite come to terms with it herself. But after so many years since her debut in the Guilty Gear franchise, Bridget finally came to terms with her own identity. Arc System Works\u2019 official gender reveal for Bridget didn\u2019t only flesh out her in-game lore, but it also provided the trans community more representation in a sphere where they are often excluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
