It's been three years and there are still people this willfully stupid. It has been confirmed by Ishiwatari that she is a trans girl.

You know you're basically denying the word of one of the Japanese writers at this point, right? How hard is it to say "I don't like that the writers made Bridget trans"?
and stop with the trans Bs as trans isn't even a real thing to begin with
You can disagree with the writers all you want, but crossing the line into blatant transphobia will only get you banned.

transphobia isn't a thing as phobia means to fear and I don't fear trans people and nothing I said is banned as nothing I said is hateful it's just facts
Here is details from Anime News Network detailing the specific interview (3 pages) with Guilty Gear -Strive- game director Akira Katano and video game developer Daisuke Ishiwatari that the image of some random twitter post is referencing.
When asked how Bridget might have initially seen herself, Ishiwatari reflected that because it was a period when people tried to fit in with others, Bridget might have done her best not to think about her gender identity. When bringing Bridget into Strive after a 10-year gap from her previous appearance, he was conscious about updating her character and presentation. This is the reason why the male symbol ♂ on her habit's forehead changed into the transgender mark ⚧ in Strive. Ishiwatari was so particular about including the mark that when one of the modelers overlooked it and used the old design, he called it out.
The interview also addressed Katano and Ishiwatari's thoughts on the fan reception to Bridget's updated character in Strive. Katano said that the team expected mixed reactions from the outset, but that they did not plan to state their intentions with Bridget's portrayal until some users began impersonating the official account in order to spread their own opinions. It was at this point when Katano decided that they had to make an announcement.
In September, the team addressed Bridget's gender identity in the "Developer's Backyard." Ishiwatari explained plainly in the post that Bridget identifies as a woman. Katano clarified that the game also does not have "good" or "bad" endings, acknowledging past arguments that Bridget identifying as a woman at the end of one Arcade route is a "bad ending" because the dialogue differs from the "perfect" ending.
Couldn't find the second text in the image, but the first text is from the TBS interview and would appear to have absolutely nothing to do with Bridget's gender identity. While the supposed post supposedly references it, it seems taken out of context.

Regarding concerns and conflicts when implementing Bridget
Mr. Ishiwata: We haven't actually changed the settings or made any specific alterations for this project. However, starting with the new title, we've unified character clothing designs to feel more grounded in reality. For example, we questioned whether nun-like outfits are realistic. How would someone move around town wearing that?
Since the game's visual presentation has become very close to anime, we're exploring designs that could be worn as everyday clothes to avoid visuals that feel jarring—like characters walking around town in outfits you couldn't actually wear. That's the basis for this clothing design.
transphobia isn't a thing as phobia means to fear and I don't fear trans people
This is a shallow definition. The "phobia" in this context is referring to the systemic prejudice, discrimination, and hostility toward a group. Transphobia is the irrational hatred of trans people. You may not see it, but you are being very hostile right now and I'm surprised the mods haven't stepped in yet.
