Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, other trans people seem happy with it. Bridget's entire backstory is a mess for handling gender identity in either way, and when the original was written the idea of transness probably wasn't even a consideration, it was just a backstory-driven excuse to put a boy in a dress because that's a popular trope. So like. It seems like it could have been written better but I see how trans people would appreciate the effort.

Also not a fan of any quibbles that have to do with "erasing feminine boys" because it's almost always used as a talking point next to the transphobic talking point that trans people are trying to "trans" gender-nonconforming kids. The trans community by and large is more accepting than your average cis of gender-nonconformity in both cis and trans people of all genders. Nobody says if a boy is feminine then he's really a girl. However, many feminine "boys" turn out to be trans girls. That's not an issue.

To put it another blunter way, the idea behind Bridget in the original game was that most people will grow up identifying as the gender that matches the one associated with their genitals, regardless of which gender they're assigned and raised as. The idea behind the new story is that most people will grow up identifying as the gender they're assigned and raised with. The latter is true more true than the former. Trans people are the exception. So in the original game, Bridget was accidentally written as trans. Yes, trans -- assigned female at birth, identifies as male. In the new one, she's probably accidentally cis for the same reason, but at least with a better understanding of how gender identity really works which will probably be more helpful in the long run for understanding why some people are trans.
