I hardly ever read trans* fic and I don't see anything wrong in not having any interest in it. I can also kind of understand what you mean in terms of feeling secondhand embarrassment when reading headcanon posts -- I think I'd feel that way about anything that comes off so overly personal.

But that's just it, I don't actually have to read these fics and posts, do I? Even if it's people you follow, you can ignore them. Back in the days two of my closest LJ friends started really getting into writing my favorite character in our mutual fandom as trans*, and they would talk about it all the time. Did I feel an imperative to participate? Of course not, and back on LJ, the absence of someone's opinion in a small group of friends was even more noticeable. Did anyone care? No.

So I guess while it's pretty normal for you to have these feelings, you could stand to... lighten up a bit? Secondhand embarrassment shouldn't make you want to yell at people in annoyance, that's kind of extreme. Fandom activities are supposed to make you happy; those folks are writing and talking about trans* characters because it makes them happy. You should avoid them for the same reason. Go look at what you like instead.
