Oh this, a million times.

Even when you write a fic that elaborates on that headcanon - usually because several people ask for it - no one bothers to say anything. Sometimes, including the very people who requested it in the first place.

I also have issues with headcanons gaining some percieved legitimacy despite just being someone's subjective opinion. In the context of OP's secret, it's those "Character A is totally trans/a POC/autistic/whatever, and if you write them any other way you're transphobic/racist/ableist/etc." headcanons that suddenly seem to take precedent over how said character is presetned/identifies within canon.
