A few BLEACH queer Headcanons just cuz. I I'll probably make more.
In my opinion, the only queer labels the soul society probably uses are FTM and MTF. I don't think they're in tune to sexuality terms or anything, but I still think they're very queer in those ways regardless. I'll say "they are gay" regarding a character knowing I feel like they'd probably just say "this is my boyfriend." I don't think they'd use the labels, but I still see them with those labels. Does that make sense? I also feel like half the shinigami have a little nonbinary or gnc swag. Just look at them.
And note I will most likely see the majority of the characters as trans. It's habitual and out of spite for how the queer characters in BLEACH are actually handled. Pure spite for Giselle's treatment. That's all.
Anyways, to some character specific hcs.
Byakuya Kuchiki - Angled (Het) Aroace, FTM trans
Angled AroAce: Someone on the aro and ace spectrums that still feel other forms of attraction, romantic, sexual, queerplatonic, etc. In this case I see Byakuya as Demiromantic & Demisexual, and only attracted to women.
Toshiro Hitsugaya - Panromantic, asexual, MTF trans
For personal reasons that are extremely hard to explain, I'm only comfortable with seeing Toshiro as female -- so that's where the transfem headcanon comes from.
Kisuke Urahara - Polyamorus, bisexual, FTM trans
I mean, come on! This is the most bisexual polyamorus man I've ever seen. He lives alone in a shop with a man and their two kids, him and Yoruichi have always seemed like fuck-buddies in how they're written, possibly lovers. Also Urashin is just π This man will treat his various partners to burnt microwave ramen that he forgot to put the water into. Tessai is sobbing as the kitchen is on fire. It's a beautiful sight. Prove me wrong.
