Anyone remember when everyone had an uncle who worked at nintendo and knew how to unlock luigi on mario 64 and how to get the triforce in OoT and how to get the third pokemon on red?
“This sequence of events could suggest this character being trans, and I’d like to explore this idea further.”
“I’m trans and headcanoning this character as trans feels pretty good.”
“I don’t really need to explain why I headcanon them, I’m just having fun and using my creative liberties!”
Etc.
How not to:
“This character is trans because I say so, and if you say otherwise you’re a shitty human being.”
“This character is trans, even if it’s not canon it’s canon. If you disagree you’re cishet scum.”
“This character is trans because cis people are boring/I think trans people are so much cooler just because they’re trans. A person’s gender identity totally dictates whether or not they’re worthwhile.”
“Cis people are all scum, everyone is a transwoman/transman!”
This:
“Look how trans this character is!!!”
(That physically hurt my soul to shit out).

Also, don’t attack people who don’t agree with the headcanon or insist that it is actual canon
Friendly reminder you are telling a bi/pan shipper you do not “permit me” to headcanon a character I enjoy like myself because apparently bi/pan is too icky.
Friendly reminder that is biphobia.
And last, but not least:
Friendly reminder to pull your head out of your ass and do something productive instead of abusing real people over fictional ships.
