I think most of the trans headcanon bashing has been exactly what you're complaining about, the headcanon focusing on the ways a character 'doesn't pass' as a 'normal man/woman' which ends up in some really gross territory really fast.

I do vaguely remember way back in the early days of internet slash fandom though when there was a lot of trying to 'prove' how a character could be gay using stereotypes or alternatively playing up "He's not a gay guy, he's normal and manly and he just happened to fall in love with another guy." so I have tentative hopes that if trans headcanons stick around they'll go the same way. "I headcanon Colossus as a trans dude. He kind of reminds me of this really nice bodybuilder at my gym, you know?"
