DA. Racebending and headcanons don't make a canon anything like that. OP seems to be complaining about the people who go "x character is canonly trans BECAUSE I SAY SO" which usually boils down to "x character is trans because cis ppl are GROSS u transphobe THEY'RE TRANS DEAL WITH IT."
I think my biggest issue is that there is media out there with trans, POC, and anon queer characters. But it's often indie and people let it remain small scale because they're too busy trying to put Dean Winchester as a trans WOC and then claim that Supernatural is progressive because they said so.
Meanwhile, Korra had a canon bisexual POC protagonist and Welcome to Night Vale has a canon m/m interacial pair (and a few canon trans people!) Marvel has a couple canon m/m and f/f pairs among plenty of other canons they could get that without whining about headcanons. They wouldn't have to bring their diversity; it would already be there.
