What's bad about the writing? Every person has their personal path they either take or have to go through involuntarily. If I'm not wrong she was forced to be a girl, she fought against it in spite to those who forced her to be that way, later in life she realizes that she has pushed her true identity behind walls she tried to build around herself.
She wasn't "forced to be a girl" she was just told by her parents to act like one around other people so she wouldn't be sacrificed for being a bad omen. They never actually treated her like she wasn't a boy. She was perfectly fine living that way until she realized how much it was hurting her parents and anyone else in the same situation, so she resolved to prove that she could bring wealth to the village despite being a boy.
She succeeded at that and lived openly as a boy until she decided she didn't actually want to live that way. Being a boy only mattered for dispelling the village's superstitions around same sex twins, anyway, it was never actually what she wanted. It's a perfectly reasonable way to take the character.
Now, I will admit there are Bridget related plot points from the previous games that would have been nice to get an update on, and Bridget's Strive appearance does feel a bit hasty and haphazard in its implementation. That doesn't change that most of the people that cry about "bad writing" are just mad that she's technically not a femboy anymore, and with how they froth at the mouth over it its really hard to believe it's not rooted in some level of transphobia when the only thing that changed was which pronouns the character uses and nothing actually established that anything about her body has changed.
