What about a headcanon that a character who is already female-presenting is MtF? Is it changing the way the character presents that's the problem--maybe you feel like the way the character presents on the show is their authentic identity, and a lot of FtM ones keep that identity while MtF ones change it? That's understandable to me.

Not the OP, but I feel this way. I'm cis, but I'm fine with fics where a character is trans as long as they stay as their canonical gender (for instance, a presumably cis boy turns into a trans boy or a presumably cis girl turns into a trans girl). I'm not interested in reading fics where a male character on the show is turned into a trans girl. I think the problem is a lot of times it seems rather stereotypical like "oh this boy is too effeminate to be a real boy so he has to be genderfluid/a trans girl/whatever."

I'm not Secret!OP but yeah, that's what I'm betting the problem is, it almost always is when I see this issue come up in fandom, because a lot of the male characters in canon that get turned into trans female characters, it's usually for really stereotypical reasons, or fandom gets something stuck in their craw about "subverting stereotypes" so they'll pick the most masculine, manly character there is in any given series and turn him into a trans woman. Both things ring kind of false to me. There isn't nearly as much of presumed cis female characters being headcanoned as trans out there for some reason though, which sucks, because I totally have MtF headcanons for several female characters. I feel like keeping characters as their original gender identity in canon helps not to get into a ton of problematic tropes that come with trans fiction.
