Turn it around. Imagine if a male OP were saying that a female character's sparse mustache is like his, a cis man, and therefore his headcanon is that she's MTF AMAB, based on that one reason.

You'd question what kind of assumptions he's making and whether he knows cis women can have facial hair, wouldn't you? And whether he knows that some trans women have none? And whether he realizes that's not an indicator of anything but coincidence?

I do not think it's the cut-and-dry issue you're assuming I do. I don't think having facial hair like that means you absolutely must be AFAB or are even most likely AFAB. I just know it's possible, because I have it and I'm AFAB. I don't think Simon MUST be AFAB because of how his facial hair works. It simply came to mind that he COULD be, and it became a headcanon. Headcanons don't need to be formed from careful assessment of what the most likely truth is. They can be formed as simply as, "Here's an idea. Let's go with that."

DA

Eh, I've seen headcanons based on a lot less. I see where you're coming from OP (well, as much as I can be without being familiar with the canon).

Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

You can headcanon a character as trans without listing "proof" or "reasons that show they could be, based on comparisons to cis bodies" like you did in your secret here. Further comments below go into that more, and why how you did that here comes off badly.

This is a good thread for you to read. https://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/2533544.html?thread=1077770920#cmt1077770920
