Two: I just shaved and my face is vv smooth

hmmmm

this is kind of a complicated question to answer because my opinions on particular trans headcanons would vary based on the character itself you know? (and the reasons of the headcanon-er) but I’ll share a few of my thoughts

i guess #1 is that no I don’t think there’s anything offputting about trans headcanons for characters that are confident in themselves and their identities, it’s actually really cool to see. like inspiring or whatever. i think having an attitude of loving yourself so much you don’t care what other people think of you is absolutely a possible trans experience and it’s a lot of the reason why I personally headcanon noya from haikyuu as trans, because he’s a tiny short guy that still thinks he’s the coolest manliest thing ever

a lot more of my trans headcanons do come from characters that express insecurities though because i find that relatable or whatever

my biggest pet peeve with trans headcanons though is (and this might be what you’re getting at?) characters that canonically, say, identify as a boy and instead of headcanoning them as a trans boy people headcanon them as a trans girl. it just seems disrespectful i guess? to the way the character self-identifies, unless there’s some reason for it, or if you as a trans person relate to something in them

but like the most often i see it happen with boys (headcanoned by cis girls) with no particular identity insecurity who express some kind of feminine-coded trait, like i remember one male character that was headcanoned as a trans girl simply because out of all the other male characters he was the most shy and soft-spoken, or even one that acted completely averagely masculine but was pretty appearance-wise, and i just like… i know you guys are trying to be progressive or something but you’re literally reinforcing the gender binary actually by saying characters who express feminine traits must identify as girls… I see it with masculine girl characters too ((cough pidge… who if anything is nb))

but yeah basically i dont like trans headcanons that go against how the character identifies in canon, exceptions being non-binary headcanons (because there are basically no canon nb characters) and stuff like, my one that i headcanon differently is hungary from hetalia, because their story is that they literally thought they were a boy growing up until someone told them they were a girl and then they were like ‘oh… i guess i have to act like a girl now’ but it seemed forced and uncomfortable for them so yeah ((what i absolutely dont get is how some people headcanon hungary as a trans girl because it was definitely an outside influence that caused their change not something they decided… but anyways))
