Guilty Gear Strive Bridget is now officially trans.
Well, as official as you tend to get in video games.
Trans people are no longer mythical creatures.
When I was at school, I don’t recall being aware of a single trans person.
This is not the reality today.
Trans people may be more reviled today, but we’re certainly better known.
We are frequently in newspapers and discussed in the highest courts or political chambers of the world.
But they know us.
It feels akin to the way bisexual characters were treated on television in the early ’00s.
Their presence was increasing, and it was often well-intentioned, but it felt hollow.
Trans depictions in video games are at the start of this arc.
They share an understanding of sexuality as we do today, and have no trouble with other terminology.
Krem is transgender and he should have been allowed to say it.
This is true to form for The Last of Us.
The fact he is deadnamed only adds insult to injury.
Bridget is another positive step for trans people,especially as a lesser-spotted playable trans woman in video games.
