Bridget's entire point was "Actually I'm a boy" jokes before Strive, you're telling me that wasn't cheap?
Sorta? In XX, Bridget's story was that "he" (at the time) was trying to prove his manliness to disprove the beliefs of his home village. The game otherwise only did "Bridget's a boy" jokes like twice, once in an ending where Johnny flirts with Bridget only for Bridget to go "I'm a boy" and the other IIRC is with Jam going all gaga over his cute looks and employing him in her restaurant.
Most of the "Actually I'm a boy" jokes came from the fanbase, not from the game itself.
Now in Strive though, "she" chooses to be a girl in-game (both in English and Japanese) since she already disproved the beliefs of her village.

Apparently normal route Bridget chooses to be a girl because Goldlewis keeps pestering him. In the extreme or hard route (can't remember the difficulty scaling) he chooses to be a boy. Bridget spent many of the games trying to be manly, now he chooses to be a boy but be himself which is the trap character he's developed into.

We're not really still doing this, are we? Like, do you genuinely believe all that, or are you just trying to perpetuate a debate that's already been settled?
Literally everything you said is wrong. In the Easy/Normal ending Bridget says she needs more time to figure things out, in the Hard ending she declares herself a girl, and in the Extreme ending, gets advice from Ky on how to face the challenge of coming out as her true self to others. The only time in Strive Bridget announces herself as a boy is in the very first stage, and maybe in an encounter with Testament but I've only seen that one in Japanese and haven't seen any translations of it.
The devs, Daisuke himself, has confirmed that Bridget identifies as a girl now, and that there are no "good" or "bad" endings, all of the endings are meant to be taken together as the full story. And the full story is that Bridget is a girl now. Deal with it.

Wait, this comment was posted 10 hours ago, after Daisuke himself came out and told people to shut up about there being bad endings and that Bridget was a trans girl? That's not very good timing lol, I thought it was posted before the definitive confirmation that this information is false.
