Transphobes can stay mad. Bridget has been a girl since day 1, it's just recent that it was spelled out for everyone.
Bridget has been calling himself a guy since 2002, even in Vastedge he says "ใใใใใฏไฝ่จใงใโฆ ใฆใใฏ็ทใงใ / kawaฤซ wa yokeidesu โฆ uchi wa otokodesu / Cute is unnecessary... I'm a man" and that was 5 months before Strive in the GG timeline
Those who dislike what Strive did don't do so because they are bigots, they do so because it is a blatent retcon that erases an established GNC male instead of just making a new character. Same people have supported that or making his twin brother comes out as trans. Lazy retcon/poor writing hating isn't bigotry

No, they hate it because they are bigots. Your entire argument is that bridget identified as a guy was okay by the fans, but when that flipped it wasn't and has been hypocrites about that for what's approaching a year now.
If fans actually cared about writing quality they would complain about how Ino never actually restored the moon before being beaten, but no, it's always "Bridget lore." It's because it's not actually motivated by anything other than bigotry, and any attempt to complain by writing standard is just deflection.
It's tiring and everyone sees through the stupid argument.

Calling people who have valid disagreements bigots does not solve anything.

It's not valid disagreement. It's just trying to argue for headcanon, which is just hypocrisy and inability to understand what definition of canon is.
Also I call him a bigot because he obviously is. It's his sole motivation. He has nothing to say about actual retcons on GG lore, but conveniently posts complaints about Bridget lore exclusively. Which shows how much of a fraud he is in pretending to care about Guilty Gear lore of all things. The lore handwaves genocide, looming ecological disaster, racism, quantum entanglement, physical apperances but a character choosing to go trans with the creator's confirmation? No... they got to make an account and complain about this for all eternity while being woefully ignorant of any of the characters or setting they are complaining about.
If he even had a smidge of indication that he was an actual lore nerd, I and other people wouldn't be rolling their eyes about how it's about "writing quality" not bigotry. Because fighting game lore is what people argue writing quality about right?/s Boy, I sure wish Discord96 is just as passionate about effectiveness of Akuma's raging demon, "Heihachi Mishima is dead", Geese's never ending resurrection, Kroenen's existence, fate of Charlie Nash after Alpha 3, as he's gone on and on about Bridget's decision. He said it's about writing quality right? He's not just a one trick pony with a troll account, right?
