Here's something else to think about. Being trans is an affliction I would not wish on anybody. It's not the latest edgy, cool, and different thing to be, it's just something that sucks that I have to deal with all the time because fate has a sick sense of humour.
Being trans isn't yay happy different progressive trans! it's I can't afford painful surgeries and expensive medications but I get on with my life as best I can, and my life is actually pretty great despite having to carry this around all the time.

I have a similar feeling toward my disabilities and representations of them. I am very picky about the way disabilities are shown in media and I can understand how trans people would be the same about trans depictions.

That's just the thing. I think if they actually manage to build a good, believable headcanon, that's all great. But most of the headcanons I saw were more along the "Trans* is the new black" sort of thing. A lot of trans headcanons reek of only being there to push the headcanoneer's ~super progressive~ net persona and earing them SJW brownie points. Yet what they really do most times is actively and happily othering trans people, portraying it as the new, cool in-thing and only throwing in the not-so-great aspects for ~angsty~ reasons.
