Hell Yeah

hell yeah

most of my headcanons are dependent on ‘whatever i feel like’ so this is my baseline for everything nd i think it should be basic fandom etiquette 😭

I think it's okay to headcanon a character as any gender or sexuality. Unless you headcanon, for example, an implied Transfem character as transmasc or other way around- headcanon an implied transmasc character as Transfem

It won't make you a supportive trans ally. It will make you a transphobe because you invalidate other trans people (transfem or transmasc).

If the character doesn't have anything implied about their gender, then sure, you can headcanon them as transfem or transmasc. Agender or Non-binary. Cis or not, the choice is yours. Flip the coin if you like and choose the gender headcanon you like on them.

The only thing is, you still have to refer to a character as their canon pronouns (the way other characters refer to the character. As an example: character in bungo stray dogs referring to dazai as he/him and not she/her or they/them) when it comes to posts that are not related to the gender headcanon you like on character.

As an example: a post with cis mafuyu. The poster refers to Mafuyu as she/her or headcanons Mafuyu as cis woman. Referring to Mafuyu as he/him or they/them because that's your headcanon will cause confusion among people. "Why is this person referring to Mafuyu as he/him when Mafuyu is canon she/her (or cis woman)?" type of confusion.

Same basic thing goes to characters with implied sexuality. Don't headcanon an implied bi character as gay or lesbian (just because you don't like that the bi female character, as an example, also likes men and not women only) as it makes you biphobic.

Just don't be an ass.

Anyway, my point is, don't let other people stop you from headcanoning your favourite male character as transfem or your favourite female character as transmasc (or any other gender for that matter). As long as the character doesn't have an implied gender that is (in some way) important to their character (Like Mizuki from project sekai).

Have fun to your heart and don't let people stop you.
