THIS. This is exactly why genderbending and racebending are also so stupid.

If you actually cared about issues like that, you'd be supporting trans creators and canons with canon trans characters, not just headcanoning things that have zero effect on anything at all.

Fanart and fanfics aren't canon and they don't change the canon itself. You want more representation? Then support what already exists and show the creators that there are people who want to see more.

Thank you.

the funny thing is that if canons with trans characters started cropping up in abundance you'd start railing about how they were "pandering to tumblr"

Nope. I would love to see more canon trans characters where them being trans is a canon fact, not someone's headcanon. Headcanons and subtext do not actual representation make.

But not everybody who racebends or genderbends is doing it for social justice reasons. Some write such scenarios as a "what if?" and go from there. Or for the even more base reasons of "oh so pretty/handsome!".

So go ahead and think it's stupid, but not everything is about "representation".

(Me? I do think it would be cool if there were more canons with trans people in it, just as an outside viewer who has no horse in the race. But if a show sucks, I'm not going to support it just because it has a trans character.)
