I usually hate it because 99% it feels like self-insertion wish fulfillment rather than something that would actually make sense for the character, or in the case of trans* headcanon it's based on gender stereotypes - for instance, the assumption that any character who crossdresses for any reason must really secretly be trans.

There are numerous characters for which I think stuff like trans* headcanon could make sense, but those are never the characters that people pick for stuff like that. That just furthers my belief that it's less about wanting representation in general and more about projecting onto a character.

I agree so very much.

Agreed, but I don't really see projection as that much of a problem. If someone wants to assume a character they like, even admire, might be dealing with some stuff they have dealt/are dealing with, good for them. It's when they start being shitty to people with for not having the same headcanons that it gets bad. That seems to be the kind of attitude you're taking. No one has to "pick up on" your potential headcanons, and you don't decide which characters are acceptable as what.

idk, i see it as a problem because that's when people start getting overinvested, plus i don't really see the logic behind it either. like, i'm queer, but i don't look at characters i like and think "i like them, so i will headcanon them to be gay to make me like them even more." i don't like characters because can i project myself onto them, i like characters for what they are. sometimes they're like me, sometimes they aren't. i don't understand so many people's obsession with wanting a character to be just like them.
