people headcanoning characters as not cis/het me wanting argue that it doesn't make sense my better judgement telling me bartolo, that someone having a different opinion doesn't have to affect my enjoyment of something
official-mugi Kanji Tatsumi: “My insecurity stems from the fact that I enjoy stereo typically feminine things and people make fun of me for it" Y'all dumbasses: “Kanji literally can't stop sucking d---- cause he likes to sew" metalgirlysolid Chihiro Fujisaki: “People of all genders would bully me because of how feminine I look, so I took up cross dressing, not because I like it (I don't), but because I get zero insults from anyone now. I do it out of fear of people making fun of me and beating me up." Tumblr: "OMG look at my TRANS BABY!!! yeah, she's trans, its canon, I say so, everyone else says so, if you disagree, you're transphobic s0000000... Anyways, they're trans and theres nothing you can do about it. I'mma drink yo angry tears rn hahaha" 8foldhero Naoto Shirogane, word for word: "The police department is a male dominated society. If they had the slightest "concrete" reason to look down on me, no one would need me anymore. What I strive for isn't to be a man, but to be accepted." Tumblr: omg why is there so much fanart of Naoto female, he's trans???

About

Transgender Headcanons refers to a series of fan theories depicting fictional characters as transgender. Mostly found on Tumblr, those theories have been criticized and mocked due the tendency of their creators to confirm the theories as part of the character's canon, even if there is a lack of support for the theory from the character's source material.

Origin

Though the exact origin of these theories is unknown, it's believed that a precursor can be found on "Transstuck," a fanfiction and fanart trend featuring characters from the webcomic Homestuck as transgender individuals.[12]

Spread

Since their first appearances, trans headcanons have risen in popularity on the microblogging network Tumblr,[7][10] where some single topic blogs about them have been created.[3][4][5][6] Some popular characters featured on trans headcanons include Danny Fenton from the cartoon series Danny Phantom, [9] Dipper Pines from the cartoon series Gravity Falls [8] and Link from the video game series The Legend of Zelda.

Criticism

These theories have been heavily criticized by various communities, including the transgender one, due the tendency of their creators to consider them as canon. In addition, critics have derided theory creators as being intolerant of criticism; they have also disagreed with the casting of transgenderism as a simple character trait, rather than a gender identity. On December 9th, 2014, on the subreddit TumblrInAction, user extrabullshitaccount published a link to a Tumblr post where user otterplotter mocked a transgender user who felt uncomfortable with a trans headcanon featuring the character Fenris from the video game Dragon Age. The post received over 300 points (97% upvoted) and over 200 comments in the following 9 months.[2]

Samus Is A Transgender Woman

On September 1st, 2015, Brianna Wu and Ellen McGrody published an article titled "Metroid’s Samus Aran is a Transgender Woman. Deal With It." on the feminist pop culture news website The Mary Sue.[1] Both authors claimed that Samus Aran from the Metroid series is a male-to-female transgender woman, using developer comments and instruction booklet excerpts as sources.

Within 24 hours, the article had 2000+ comments and made Samus trend on Twitter with almost 4,000 tweets in one day.[13] Criticism of the article focused on the author's lack of sources and mistranslations. An anonymous user on Wikipedia began editing the Wikipedia article for Samus Aran to include references to transgenderism, and claiming those who were reverting the edits were "Gamergators" and "transmisogynists." This user was quickly blocked and the article locked.

Someone attempted to edit the samus aran Wikipedia page and had their edits reverted. Upon making a discussion to find out why, they began to attack the other mods and admins who did not agree with them. This user was later barred from editing further pages, and may or may not have been Brianna Wu citing herself in the edits.
Co-Author Ellen McGordy took to twitter when the article she co-wrote with Brianna Wu came under heavy criticism. Her grievances against gamers and gaming in general would appear to be similar to that of a fanfiction author being told their head-canon is not solid canon. Suggested courses of action have been to ignore her completely.
