Trap

A term used commonly with people who consume Anime and other related media originating from Japan. Mostly used to describe a male character dressing and acting effeminately.

A Trap is not to be confused with a Transgender individual, as many creators of this specific media have already clarified that these characters are either Cisgender or their gender has been left ambiguous.

Trap

An outdated term in the western anime community that use to refer to male characters with strikingly feminine characteristics, either through natural andronicity or strikingly convincing crossdressing and expresses with feminine mannerisms, either as a self indulging act or accidental second nature.

The term was originally used because westerners weren't use to Japan's crossdressing subculture boom in the early 2000s, resulting in many characters striking the viewer's fancy by accident.

Modern terms are tomgirl, crossdressers or, for a broader cultured umbrellas, otokonoko.

Bridget became popular with both men and women, who both attempted to cosplay as him. As a result, this gave birth to traps that we know today.
