I've never been interested in those headcanons either, but it's because, in my experience, the author has the character go on a long, Wikipedia-like explanation of what it means to be ace or trans or whatever. Stuff like that takes me right out of the story.

[scissorsevered]

It's like they feel the need to justify making the character trans to avoid seeming like they're "fetishizing" trans people or whatever. Fanfic isn't activism. If you want to make a male character trans, make him trans. No need to go into this entire rant in order to seem like you're doing the "correct" way of writing a trans character.

Oh god yes I can't stand it.
I've read fics where characters had also full conversations with labels. For example character A saying "I've met people like you, they called ace blah blah". MOTHERFUCKER WE ARE IN A FANTASY 19TH CENTURY WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

Still I am all for some headcanons that thrive on canon character traits. This person isn't going to have romantic feeling or this one isn't going to have sex, or this one has a lot of pain days and this guy knows suspiciously a lot about periods. I am all for headcanons. Just please write it in naturally.

YEAH, like... I love characters being all these things, but it has to feel like they exist in their world, not a lecture written by a teenager.

AYRT
Yes! Exactly
Tbf teenagers are still learning so it's ok. But nope, I am not going to read it. But it often enough leads to frustration because either you risk some tags and see a shitty fanfic or you ignore it and miss some great fics.
