I've said as much previously but Bridget's existing backstory is both something that barely had any weight even when it was written 20 years ago (it literally amounted to "haha Johnny hit on a boy") and something that still influences writing Bridget as questioning their gender identity.
Bridget is raised to present female from birth to avoid being killed and in XX is motivated by proving herself as a strong, ideal man who will disspell her hometown's superstitions... while still wearing her nun habit. Come Strive we learn that she has fulfilled these ambitions and become a world-renowned bounty hunter, but still lacks the fulfillment she's been seeking since she first appeared... and she still wears her nun habit.
Bridget's story is one of seeking self-actualization, she just can't find that because the only thing she 100% definitely knows is that self-actualization can't be found by presenting as female, except fulfilling all her other ambitions led her to the same emptiness. If anything, what her backstory influences now is that being forced to crossdress as a child made accepting her gender identity more of a struggle, because identifying as a woman is what she was running away from.
I'm a cis man and I don't want to speak above my station, but I feel like this is really only questionable on the broadest, most surface level possible, because that most surface level is all that existed when Bridget's backstory amounted to a fighting game bio circa 2002. More importantly, it can't be fucking grooming if in the same breath Bridget is bad because ArcSys is shoving SJW politics in their game and bending over for woke Americans.
