bad trans headcanon tropes to leave behind for 2018
- trans man binds with ace bandages until a Good Cis Ally gets him a binder
- “this is my buff trans wife and i want her to murder me” and other various phrases that make the association that trans woman = violent
- trans man is in a state of undress when another character walks in on him shirtless, which outs him as trans against his will
- character who is a man (or uses he/him pronouns) in canon gets headcanoned as a trans woman and then in the trans headcanon fanart she’s drawn even buffer and hairier than in canon just to prove how Obviously Not Cis she is
- drawing cis characters like regular people but then stylizing your trans headcanons to emphasize the characteristics of their ASAB
- exclusively headcanoning thin adolescent white boys as trans men
- headcanoning Real, Actual People as trans
- referring to adult characters as “boys” if you headcanon them as trans; infantilizing trans men in general
- not bothering to draw body hair on your cis characters, but always including body hair on your trans women headcanons.
- having cis love interests say anything along the lines of “i love you no matter what parts you have :)” like they deserve a fuckin medal
- only writing/drawing trans characters in nsfw situations / fetishization in general
- I’d like for people to stop headcannoning fictional characters with an actual gender to be transgender unless the creator of those characters says otherwise
Like “spider-man is trans sorry I don’t make the rules” or “Hanzo is trans sorry I don’t make the rules”
I hate those posts cause a lot of times we’re ridiculed for that and it makes us in general look bad and that we don’t take things seriously. I’ve seen and talked to people who feel like the same way
Many many others aren’t going to agree with me but it’s just my opinion, just wanted to put that out there,,,
me: hey if ur gonna headcanon characters as trans then please be respectful
this guy: nah u gotta throw the whole headcanon away now
“characters with an actual gender” sorry guys trans people don’t have an actual gender anymore i guess
