Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

MODERATORS
Rae is probably the gayest anime character I've ever seen, but I do feel like a lot of yuri/yuri-adjacent stuff is male-gazey and deliberately shies away from confirming whether characters are actually gay (see: the Witch from Mercury debacle). I assume this is partly for marketing purposes (het dudes aren't going to buy as many figurines) and partly due to Japan's regressive LGBT rights.
sometimes, but i do think sometimes it's literally textual on screen and people just pretend it's left ambiguous. wfm, something like revue starlight or utena (before the movie), etc.
Transphobes continued to deny when Bridget was explicitly stated by the creators to be trans. I agree that things shouldn't be left too ambiguous, but there's no way to get through to these types.
"he's (daisuke ishiwatari) been pressured by the woke mob to make bridget trans!"
"bridget only comes out as trans in the bad ending!"
"bridget isn't trans in the japanese version!"
and so on
none of these are true either, just a deliberate misinterpretation on their parts
