Yeah, I kinda side-eye people who headcanon a character as trans just because they are more feminine/masculine than they "should" be. If there are other factors at play, that's a different story, but if there's nothing else to support the headcanon, it all feels really gender essentialist in a roundabout sort of way. Like, it's the same logic as the tired old "Men need to be 'real men' and women need to be 'real women'" crap, except with the modifier of "oh, and trans is okay too, but if you're *not* trans, then boy howdy, you better stick to the societal expectations of your gender identity." Same attitude, different rules.

I don't see anything wrong with headcanoning everyone as trans though? I mean, if you're headcanoning one character, why not more? I guess some people feel real world statistics about the proportion of trans people in the popularion are important to the realism, but that seems like a personal thing.
