Re: Favorite Disney Character
"But by saying he must be a “princess,” in other words indicating we think he is “like a girl” (since princesses are otherwise always girls, in media) we end up re-asserting the idea that a certain set of behaviors are only things “girls do” even though it’s a boy doing it!"
They're saying that someone who is not behaving in a way totally socially expected for a man is less of a man. It's not just calling him 'girly', it's also referring to him as a 'princess'. Which is a title only women have.

He can be a princess if he wants to. And if that's someone's headcanon for him, how is that different from other headcanon?
Re: Favorite Disney Character
He doesn't identify as a woman or a princess. No one is 'headcanoning' that he's trans* or genderqueer or anything. They just think it's funny that he's so fabulous he might as well be a woman.
I agree with the tumblr--I would be offended if someone said that playing sports made me manly. It makes me athletic, nevermind if you think of athleticism as being a male-only trait. The only male-only trait there is is being a male. So if you're calling someone 'manly', you're saying they're actually more of a dude. And if I'm not identifying as more of a dude, you shouldn't be telling me that I am anyway because I have certain past times or traits that you think aren't for ladies.
