What I want is for people to stop calling it a "headcanon" and just be honest about what it is: an AU.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh, it depends on the canon. A headcanon is anything that doesn't contradict canon but isn't shown in text/on screen. So long as someone isn't explicitly stated/shown as being cis, thinking of them as trans is a headcanon. Writing about a woman who has given birth in a non-sci-fi/fantasy canon as a transwoman? Not a headcanon, that's a transwoman AU.

Sometimes it has to be headcanon because you've got to make up what you think some aspect of a character is like because it's never addressed in canon but it's something you want to include in your story. So you pick something (like: "[x] is trans") because nothing in canon contradicts it or indicates otherwise but your interpretation of the character includes that.

If the canon media ever actually says [x] is definitely not trans then it would be an AU but otherwise...it's just a little thing you have in your head that you believe fits with the character as you interpret them. You aren't going out of your way to change anything that you've seen in canon. Which would then be an AU.

Otherwise you might as well say any fanfic is an alternate universe because you're portraying characters doing and saying things they didn't do or say in canon.

I disagree. It's an AU if I write a fic about it, but if it's how I see the character in general, it's a headcanon.

For me, I headcanon Pepper Potts as trans because of a fic I read ages ago. That particular fic was an AU, but the fact that I now see Pepper as a trans woman in general is my headcanon.
