Not gonna lie, I am not a fan of people making characters out to be trans. Like, when people say dipper or lars is trans, it feels more like they want them to be special snowflakes. Part of it is because they don’t face any of the troubles that trans people actually face and part of it is because more often than not, the people who come up with these theories are not trans and are only writing these from an outside view.

Dipper isn’t trans. Lars isn’t trans. Danny Fenton isn’t trans. It kinda hurts when people insist that they are without knowing what it’s actually like to be trans.

This.
Thank you.

I’m gonna go ahead and add to this. I’ve had this thought in my mind for a while but as a cis/het I was scared of getting any hate.

But ya know what? Screw it.

It’s so sad to me that characters can’t just be characters that break stereotypes anymore.

Oh Danny Fenton wears a shirt to the pool and doesn’t wanna be touched in the chest so he must be binding and trans. Not just ya know…himself.

Oh Haruhi from Ouran Host Club can pass as a guy and flirt with girls and isn’t girly. So she must be trans. Oh Tamaki from the same thing is flamboyant. He must be trans too. Yep. They can’t just be themselves.

Look, I have no problem with homosexual or transgender subtext. Really I don’t. What I do have a problem with is people acting like their headcanon is fact when it’s not. Because we don’t know what the creative intent was until it’s revealed by the creators.

So can we all just let characters be characters and stop trying to make them special snowflakes?

It puts stereotypes on a touchy subject for a lot of people. It’s almost painful to listen to the reasons for these headcanons.

Some of them are like KINDA valid? Like I can sorta see the Danny Fenton one? But so far all the ones I’ve seen are just…not good.

Okay, but can we also consider that they’re just harmless headcanons?

And there’s hardly any canon trans/nb characters in existence for people to relate to, and there’s literally nothing that says these characters AREN’T trans. 

They’re just headcanons, if you aren’t on board with them, fine, but there’s not really anything wrong with supporting the headcanon either….

And coming from someone who’s nonbinary, I love headcanons like that. Makes me feel a little more validated, yknow? Less alone? Gives me something to relate to?

Headcanons aren’t a problem unless you start insisting they’re canon and disrespecting other people’s opinions on it.

No I know I’m not saying headcanon a are the problem. Because I like headcanons too. I have a problem when people don’t accept that they ARE headcanons, and then the headcanons are basically there because of bad stereotypes, such as someone just not being girly or whatever.

I’m all for headcanons like this and seeing nonbinary characters, but some people just need to chill about them and accept that it IS just a headcanon…

I’m cool with Headcanon too but not when it’s based on bad evidence that perpetrates stereotypes.
