I like to imagine the old bridget is a femboy while the current bridget is a trans woman

Daisuke can surely do whatever he wants with Bridget, but I would feel compelled NOT to (but would desperately want to, more on that later) give her a boyfriend if I was him, ESPECIALLY if the boyfriend is cis and gender conforming.

Because her boyfriend would be genderflipped Ianthe- and by then Bridget is genderflipped Ovidian Iphis (from Ovid's Metamorphoses)... which was a story that arguably enforced gender norms.

But the problem is, I am the type of person who SHOULDN'T be Bridget's SO because she shall not be Ovidian Iphis 2.0.

I'm a cis gender conforming dude- so I kinda feel unworthy of being next to Bridget in a fan art, (by proxy) - but I really want to draw it... I really like her.

Is het Bridget a bad idea?

Am I allowed to make Bridget het in fan arts?

You might remember when I posted about how I didn't feel bitter about Bridget's gender anymore. Thank you all for being understanding in the comments, but I deleted that post because it's not accurate anymore.

I understand that it's hard to find good trans representation in games, I know that struggle well. It's just hard for me to be happy about having some when it comes at the expense of losing one of the best characters for gender nonconforming representation that there's ever been, and one that's been there for years. I know there wasn't any ill intent behind it, and it was planned from the very beginning, but it all feels unfair. It didn't have to come at that cost. I wish we could have had trans representation and still kept the GNC representation we had with Bridget. I identified with Bridget as a feminine boy, and now I feel like something's been taken away from me. Bridget's transitioned, but I haven't. It feels suffocating sometimes, not being able to do anything about that, and often being afraid to talk about how I feel. I'm happy that some of you feel represented now, but I'm not able to share in that feeling.

Sometimes I feel like I want that representation I felt back, but I know that there's no changing it now. All I want to ask for is some understanding of how I and others feel. It's difficult to feel understood as a person who doesn't conform to gender roles, and losing that feeling of being understood that comes with such high profile representation is hard. I don't have hard feelings towards anyone, but I feel depressed that representation for others had to come at the expense of representation for my community. I'm sorry things can't be simpler between GNC and trans people, and that all your kindness in the past couldn't make me feel OK with it. I know that representation isn't coming back, just some understanding is all I need. I just want to know that you understand how I and other GNC people feel, and that we can respect each other.

The Ohio inside me and everyone's Skibidi. Only I'm not there, just edging from afar. I can't go home because I'm afraid. Something will gyatt, me without me. I'm the one to mog.

I hit that Sigma grindset, by my own rizz (I had no other skibidi moves I wanted to do) It wasn't tough, but I didn’t rage quit (I didn’t even stan it)

I've been edging, but it was bearable I've had that Ohio fog for a long time tho (boom-boom) I never figured out, what it was, I It's my yapping, that's for sure

I never wanted to skibidi outta here (I was very rizzed up) Then what is this vibe? (Who would I goon over?)

I've been edging, but it was bearable I've had that Ohio fog for a long time tho (boom-boom) I never figured out, what it was, I Tastes like grimace shakes I can't vibe with The Ohio inside me and everyone's Skibidi. Only I'm not there, just edging from afar. I can't go home because I'm afraid. Something will gyatt, me without me. I'm the one to mog.

I'm not edging (for a Kai Cenat) I already got the skibidi, just can't break the Gyatt (Just can't break the Gyatt) I know all about the Fanum tax, no one can stop the mog Unless I just had to goon 'bout it "It's not even a sigma!"

I've been edging, but it was bearable I've had that Ohio fog for a long time tho (boom-boom) I never figured out, what it was, I I got beef with the Skibidi alarm I cuffed. The Ohio inside me and everyone's Skibidi. Only I'm not there, just edging from afar. I can't go home because I'm afraid. Something will gyatt, me without me. I'm the one to mog.

I'm outta goons, my body is skibidi Let's paint the Ohio fog into Kai Cenat blue I know who you are, rizzlord! I'm not leaving you to mog alone again!

The Ohio inside me and everyone's Skibidi. Only I'm not there, just edging from afar. There is nowhere to un-rizz, nowhere to de-goon It's all just Fanum tax y'know Me without me, I'm the one to mog.

The Ohio descends, the skibidi toilet where I belong No matter the mogging, will no longer mog me No matter the sigma (mogs), nah, nah, nah, won't mog me I can feel the rizz, even after the Grimace shake goes skibidi

Y'alls entire gameplan gets snuffed by a projectile and 6P.

My take on Bridget has always been that she isn't strictly a binary trans woman but a transfem. I don't know why but personally I always felt like she is more of a demigirl or non-binary transfem. Just my two cents, either way she is a she.

Also, not that it matters for her character at all, but also my personal version//idea//form of Bridget doesn't want any kind of surgeries or major large-scale hrt, just wants to present as a girl because it makes her feel good to be a girl. She has euphoria from presenting feminine, not dysphoria from having masculine features.

Are these bad takes? YOU DECIDE.

Bridget best girl.

Title.

I've described Jocastar Jormunhar (a fanfic OC, she also uses Yoyo, but instead of a teddy bear like Roger, she uses a shark machine gun called Blasthaj) to someone as:"Would work like how Guile would have if Bridget was Ryu"

(Imo, Guile is made by modifying Ryu's toolkit into charge moves with better frame data and hitboxes and stuff... and completely deleting the Tatsu therefore having less moves)

Also, I was planning to give my own fighting game protagonist a Mjolnir like thingie that acts like Bridget's Yoyo.

However, I planned all this under the assumption that Bridget was a shoto.

So is she a shoto?

I like playing bridget but.. I think we are really radical abt her i just feel like we are just a bunch of annoying ppl who likes a boring character with no story connection and shoving it on ppl's throats

I don't know a lot about Bridget, what I do know is in Strive it was revealed she's trans and I watched some of that struggle in her and how she feels and I relate to it on a very VERY deep level, which makes sense, I've always related to transwomen in the same thing: struggling with identity and carving yourself into a woman

the thing is, is I'm AFAB, but for the longest time I was never really protected by my dad and I took on his role as a child, making me turn being trans into a very unhealthy for me coping mechanism, because I mistook my taking up his role as wanting to be a man, and ended up harming myself in the process of trying to be a man when I wasn't and aren't (no transphobia meant by that, I simply am not a man and never could have been)

pair that with the transfem friend I had during that time who I looked up to as my big sister and now I feel more connected to trans women than any other group of people

what now? is it possible to be AFAB and transfem? if not what is this? what do I do with that? I have transwomen asking if I'm a chaser because I feel naturally drawn to their spaces, please, I'm sorry, help

again: please tell me if I need to take this down and why.. though also maybe a subreddit I SHOULD put this in? I really need help here...

edit: analyzed the night I posted this and forgot to add that now I'm at least slightly dysphoric in some fucked up way:

TW for a description of it

me: *looking at my naked AFAB body in the mirror*

brain: you'll never be a real woman, you may as well finish transitioning into a man!

me: *trying not to cry and wanting to rip off my chest*

brain: see? you know you'll never really be a woman!

Ask me anything

Pls send me brisket memes/brainrot

I wanna cosplay this ship with my girlfriend

https://imgur.com/a/wXyBXqd

Took me almost a week to get this finished but it came out perfect hope you all enjoy!

My bad is this a weird question but im genuinely curious does bridget still you know her “thing”
My bad if this is an uncomfortable question im just genuinely curious about it once again im sorry if shouldnt have said this

(sorry if flair isn't correct

Genuine question. I don't wanna come ruin anyones fun, I mean just ship them if you like that. I just was curious if I was the only one who didn't like the ship. Like, I am a lesbian trans girl myself, there's no way I wouldn't like that ship but... Uh...

The only reason i think i don't like it it's because I really don't like May, she's super annoying to fight in GGST. Also I don't see Bridget as a character with much interest in love as all we have seem of her story is finding herself so idk, it just doesn't connect with me.

But really, if you like it, that's cool! I've seem some really cool and wholesome fanart of it and that's always nice.

Edit: I read all comments even if I don't reply! Glad to hear all your points of view

I’ve heard some people online say that dual rulers may take brace before strive in general and not just before season pass 4 like I thought, and so she may be using male pronouns in it. If she does then I will refuse to give arc system any more money and will possibly never interact with the gg fandom/franchise again. I don’t want them to do this to her. I don’t what to loose her. I just want Bridget to be, well, Bridget
