>>3746733Okay this is basically a more roundabout way of saying (And it's pretty long)...
Firstly, even if it has been confirmed that doesn't necessarily stop people from making fan works where Bridget isn't depicted as trans.
A case example is the amount of crack shipping (especially yuri and yaoi) stuff of characters who are canonically have love interest (and also for said characters who are canonically straight for the gay shippings),
another example is also genderebent fan works as well.
Fan works simply bypass "canon" to suit the fan creators' desires and help shape a franchise as a whole (it's called a "headcanon" for a reason).
An example would be to look at the Gundam franchise's AU stuff, while they didn't follow the continuity of the UC timeline they semented they own legacy in spite of it.
Now yes, they were partly made to somewhat spite Yoshiyuki Tomino who temporary left the franchise on a sour note after Victory Gundam, but the intent is still similar (Plus if you go by Turn A Gundam, they DID TECHNICALLY became canon).
Another example is the Touhou franchise, due to the nature of it through games, print work, CDs and what-have-you, this has somewhat left doujinshika to add their own headcanon on the characters. whether for comedy or not.
Yes, these are just doujinshi and will never be considered canon like the Gundam AUs; but, to those who fans of Touhou stuff, how many of you go by the CANONICAL character interpretations made by ZUN and not a different one made a random doujinshika?
What of the memes that are based around said different interpretations?
Another case of this is also mythology and stuff like that. While yes certain parts of it are common, there are other parts that vary.
This COULD also extend to stuff like manga adaptations as well.
Certainly the "is trans" part DOES NOT mean you HAVE to follow what the canon says.
