I'm trans and I hate most trans headcanons. It seems like most people are trotting them out for progressiveness points, or tacking on labels with no real understanding, or just straight up fetishising the characters. It doesn't necessarily mean they are any more enlightened about actual trans people either, they just tend to be offensive in different ways.

to all of this. it's sad and will likely come to pass in favor of a new trend by this time next year.

I have seen some good ones, but they're few and far between, because trans people are few and far between (and thus only a few such headcanons will come from people who are actually trans or are otherwise reasonably familiar with the matter). Most the time when Tumblr starts flinging around the word "trans" they're just doing it for easy points and have no idea what they're actually dealing with.

Also agreed. Most of the ones I see are a fantasy portrayal of transness that has no connection to real trans lives or even to the reality of the fandom's canon. Which is fine, fandom is a great place to do ridiculous fantasy things. But then so many people couple that with "look this proves how progressive I am" and I get pissed off.

Add in the fact that almost all of the trans headcanons I've seen are based on gender stereotypes (i.e. "he dresses like a girl, therefore he must be a girl!"), and yeah, it's offensive.

This. This is what I see too often. Trans headcanons done right? Awesome. People looking at a female character who is "too muscled/tough/strong/etc" and deciding she's trans, or a male character who is "sensitive/soft/interested in girly hobbies/gay" and decided he's trans.

I've seen it all. Headcanons that have NO root in gender stereotypes and are just neat (like Sherlock, I've liked some of his transfic)... but then I see it all the time for gay characters that are "girly" so clearly they must literally have a vagina. Which I think is just offensive as all fuck and speaks to a lot of misogyny.
