Not at all. They’re experiences are actually the norm now, not anecdotal. It’s far more common to find what they’re talking about across the board, and you can easily find this out with a search on AO3/Tumblr/Google in general. You just don’t want to budge from your position, no matter how shaky the foundation is.

Also, you clearly don’t know what a strawman is if you think you can just “No U” someone else’s use of the term.

Except it's not? Just because you believe this doesn't make it true. Everything you accuse me of works the other way around - unless you actually have any real data other than "because I say so", your assertions are just as valid or invalid as mine.

I did say the search engine on AO3 is the best way to find out what type of headcanon is more prevalent, but okay.

There’s a significant amount of both kinds of what has been mentioned in the thread wherever you look, but looking through will bring more pre-canon transition examples.

Really? Because I see everywhere, in response to a male character showing stereotypically feminine interests, that he MUST be Secretly Trans. It makes me, a real actual trans person, sick how gender essentialist it is. We already have to perform to strict stereotypes to be affirmed.

There is a substantial amount of the types of headcanons you and the other anon are talking about, like I said to them. And it’s obviously insensitive of the people who aren’t trans making these headcanons for everyone to see, flaunting their ignorance about the subject. Uncaring of who they may hurt using these rigid gender stereotypes to pretend they understand being trans, because they want brownie points.

I was just pointing out that searching AO3, Tumblr, and Google(especially AO3) reveals that those headcanons are edged out by people who write characters as having transitioned into the gender identity they started with in canon. For every “This canon male character is non-traditionally masculine, they must be MTF trans, that’s the only explanation”, there’s just a bit more “This character is canonically male in canon, but what if they were FTM before the story started?”.
