I think this was mentioned, but not fully realized. This is the most likely reason Bridget is a "her":
The move reflects official concern that Chinese pop stars, influenced by the sleek, girlish look of other Asian celebrities, are failing to encourage China's young men to be masculine enough.

Which makes everyone celebrating it even more funny because now they're celebrating actual feminine men being erased.
Oh I completely forgot about this. Yeah this makes a whole lot of sense, because now ArcSys can simply say that Bridget is actually a girl, which based on how Bridget looks wouldn't be too confusing. I thought ArcSys' decision, pandering to two basically opposing sides was stupid, but now ArcSys has an easy way to make both of these sides happy. Although it's still retarded that they sided with both the guys that say they don't play GGST and the people that possibly couldn't even have access to your game / could easily boycott it for very stupid reasons.
Also the people celebrating ArcSys' decisions are the people who actually can only see in black and white. Troons and their followers will see a just slightly feminine dude or masculine girl and will always come to the conclusion that these people are actually surpressing their "true self" and that they need to have their eyes opened to a totally-not-delusional-and-reality-rejecting world. That's also why they loathe Traps and Femboys, because these are people whose genes aligned for them, making them look feminine, while troons have to rely on chemicals and mutilation to make themselves look feminine. Troons are exactly the people who do surgery to look like I dunno the Kardashians or some shit, just that they want to look like the opposite gender. Funny how we did two 180° turns on that topic in the span of like 10 years and now we're just back to sad people trying to achieve something that they never will.
