Yeaaaahhhh I said this in a comment below, but trans men are people, and therefore not a monolith and while they might have observable commonalities due to shared experiences, they are not all going to find exactly the same character "the most relatable" 100% or even 90% of the time. When I see actual trans men making trans headcanons it isn't always the same character. This is something else entirely.

I don't know a lot of trans people and all of them afab, I live there it isn't safe to be out. So experience is limited. (Funnily enough none of them are heavily into trans headcanons actually. I wonder if our shared experience in our hell hole of the country to blame. I never was into ace headcanons despite being ace myself. Strangel

[ariakas]

This is a good point, I also know lots of trans guys find trans headcanons triggering and I can't imagine fandom going "ah, a man who acts/looks like what our society expects of a woman, must be a trans man" is particularly helping matters.

EXACTLY. I have a bunch of friends who are trans guys and they're all drawn to totally different types of characters. If they were the sort of people to have trans headcanons, you'd see all sorts of different character types being headcanoned as trans because they all relate to different characters.

[ariakas]

Yes! I said below, but this happened in my last fandom, and it's like night and day when it's "trans guys trans hc'ing their fave" and "fandom has ordained that this one is close enough to a woman to be a trans man". Like, some of them still pick that guy - and that's fine! But not everyone.

Yeah, like right now one of my trans guy friends is really into Cid from FFXVI, who is pretty traditionally masc! He's physically rugged and is fairly brusque personality-wise (from what I know about him) and really doesn't have any traits that one would consider "feminine," but he's the character that my friend relates to the most (which isn't a huge surprise since said friend is pretty masc himself). If he were going to pick anyone to trans hc I would guess it would be Cid.

That's why I don't believe for one second that all of these trans hcs come from actual trans guys when they're all focused on the exact same character and that character just so happens to be the most gnc/feminine male character.
