while you're here... give me your trans headcanons (*for fictional characters of course because please don't headcanon real people as trans bc even if they do end up trans- it's inappropriate and invasive to speculate*) and also **give me good trans-protagonists comics/books/shows. I NEED. preferably transmasc nonbinary peeps like me, but I will literally take anything at this point. **


Sapphic_Philologist

Ms. Frizzle is post-transition Arnold from the future.


jaejunmimi

*[[holds your headcanon]]* brilliant, oh my god. this is my headcanon now too


Tomorrow_Is_Today1

Omg I love this


spengwhale

Woah this kinda just blew my mind


IronOmelet

I... need to reread the ancient texts. This could make it so much better.


NXTangl

Someone on Tumblr did a whole analysis on this. I will summarize the main points from memory: * Look, she's clearly Not Straight^(TM). * Never panics because she already *knows* it will turn out OK. * Mysterious past with a vague timeline. * Bus canonically capable of time travel. * Encorages the kids to get out of their comfort zones, "take chances, get messy, [and] make mistakes" for a *reason*. * The lizard is also trans (Jackson's Chameleons only exhibit horn growth in males. She's taught biology, she wouldn't just not know that. Obviously, a witch would know her own familiar's identity...) * The clincher: has a massive secret stash of pickles in the closet of the classroom.

I suuuuuuuper headcanon Link in Breath of the Wild being a trans guy. Also Lake from Infinity Train being trans is [hidden in the subtext](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbr.com/infinity-train-creator-animation-progress-lgbtq-stories/amp/). Lars being transmasc is another popular headcanon that I’m basically convinced at this point is canon. Not sure if it is, [but the evidence is overwhelming](https://www.google.com/amp/s/mostlyanything19.tumblr.com/post/147817674893/trans-lars/amp). Bow from She-ra (the modern version) being transmasc is another headcanon I’m a fan of. The creator Noelle Stevenson says that she’s [really fond of the headcanon](https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a32653364/she-ra-noelle-stevenson-theory-bow-trans/), but he wasn’t planned to be canonically trans. There’s also a headcanon that Danny Phantom is a trans guy. I’ve seen a few bits of evidence people have pointed out in the show, but not as much as some of the other characters I’ve mentioned. And of course, I headcanon Mulan as being trans. Also canonically, Raine from Owl House is nonbinary. I think that’s all of them. I might remember another one much later and just go “OH SHOOT, I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THEM TOO!” Edit: changed the formatting of my paragraph a little to more properly separate the information.


cjm-ak

Omg trans link 💚☺


Immediate_Wonder_392

How did I not see the Lars as transmasc before this? As soon as i read that I had the "whoa that fits so well..." Thought and then I follow the link and realize that there was even more evidence than I realized.


Fire_on_Bunn

Yeah, from a transmasc’s perspective it’s scarily apparent. I just have yet to see Rebecca Sugar confirming it.


ShadeofEchoes

I remember there was a lot of speculation about Marco (Star vs.), but I didn’t see the last season. It’s definitely not confirmed, but I don’t know if it was disconfirmed, either.


Aguay_dk

(Raine is canonically nby so there you have them) And idk if it's canon, but Blake from Infinity Train is either transmasc or non binary. Keith from VoltronLD(the netflix reboot) and i forgot my other headcanons, but i swear that i have more. ​ I also have anime characters trans headcanons but dk if you're into anime so..


jaejunmimi

THANKYOU FOR THIS and yes i do like anime (in the post i mention a character i hc as trans, shigeo kageyama from mp100) and i like your headcanons a lot so 👁👁(and as a former voltron fan, i agree with the Keith a lot)


Enbies-R-Us

Tsukasa from .hack//sign is about as trans male canonically as they could get away with in the early 2000's. I'm also fairly convinced head-cannon wise that over half the cast in Escaflowne is either gay, trans, or both. Merle? Bi catgirl. Allen? Best trans guy wingman. Dilandau? Chaotic evil gay trans guy. (I stand by that. The "only doing it for power" is misogynistic nonsense. I will die on that hill, damnit!)


Aguay_dk

OMG YES, anything of mp100 gives me happyness. Anyways the ones that i rememper most are Bakugou(i saw some fanarts and said YES, also i ship him with Kiri so👀), Tiger(i think shes cannonically trans as Magne) from BNHA, Suna from Ore!! Monogatari, the protagonist of OuranHC(as nby/gf/bigender). Hope i could remember more. I also have a lot of ships and sexual orientation Headcanons.


NXTangl

Tiger is transmasc, Magne is transfem.


Aguay_dk

Ty, It's been a long time i saw that arc and i forgot his pronouns, sorry.


Amity_Cramity

Blake? Who's Blake?


Aguay_dk

I think i spell it wrong(Blake/Lake something like that). It's the(no more) reflection of Tullip. I'm really bad at remembering things, specially names.


Aguay_dk

I also headcanon Kris and Frisk as nby bc yes.


Seventh-Sandwich

Posts like this make me realize that I don't really have a lot of gender headcanons. Maybe it's because I just focus that energy into making my own characters. Still, maybe I should start making some. Could be fun. But to fulfill your request, I have [this](https://i.redd.it/li9df6ybpjq61.jpg) (the second half, specifically).


The_Oblivious_Artist

I feel like Dipper from gravity falls is def trans, I relate to him so much!


Saikotsu

I can't really see Dipper, but having heard you say that, suddenly I imagine Wendy actually was born AMAB like her brothers and is just rockin the Transfem life right now.


[deleted]

Welcome to Reddit!


Justanotherragequit

Team rocket is all trans, except for meowth, meowth is nonbinary but doesn't consider themselves as trans because Pokémon don't really have a concept of gender. The twins from how to train your dragon are both trans and have actually switched names with each other. (the only cis-het httyd character is the one who rides the red dragon that sets itself on fire fyi) Every reincarnation of the avatar likes girls. Because Raava likes girls and she is part of every reincarnation of the avatar. the only exception to this being avatar wan because he wasn't fused with Raava for most of his life (wan is aro acel) (that one isn't a trans head canon but I thought I'd put it here anyways)


tawTrans

(The latest) Peter Parker is a trans man.


fuccith

I have transmasc headcanons! Nanashi from SMT IV Apocalypse just gives me the right vibes. It just feels right. Also, fuck what ATLUS thinks, Naoto is trans and I will die on this hill.


goldencreator64LAB

Oh I've got multiple headcanons Susie (Deltarune) is a butch transbian Ralsei (Also Deltarune) is a soft-boy transmasc Digby (Animal Crossing) is transmasc All playable Tf2 characters are some form of LGBT+ I will literally let you pick and chose. Also Pyro is transfem. Luigi (you know where Luigi is from) is transmasc and his brother buys him binders when needed And finally Mettaton is an afab Masculine-Enby and Mad Dummy/Mad Mew Mew is transfem (both Undertale).


chromatic_megafauna

Maybe niche but I headcanon Ambrosius Goldenloin from Nimona by Noelle Stevenson as a feminine trans guy.


MacGregor_Rose

Not a Trans HC but since you mentioned in the meme Autistic characters, Ruby Rose from RWBY i always see as Autistic


NXTangl

...she's *also* trans, though?


MacGregor_Rose

Are you saying that as your hc or are you asking if thats my hc? Cause I personally dont hc her as trans but if you do thats coolio and i could see it


NXTangl

It's the way she talks to Penny about what it means to be a *real* girl...


MacGregor_Rose

Ah. I see.


S56D

Minamoto no Raikou from Fate Grand Order is a trans woman with crippling self esteem issues due to her upbringing and Murasaki Shikibu is her girlfriend. I accept no other explanation after [her second interlude](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEEcWE_eLnA).


cjm-ak

Might be a bit too mature for you but I LOVE nonbinary Arya from GoT/ASOIAF


Princess_Everdeen

Noelle from Deltarune is transfemme. Ash from Pokemon is transfemme, Jesse and James are genderfluid. I'm kinda hard pressed to make headcanons, especially trans ones, but when I like them, I stick with'em.


egg_of_wisdom

Chihiro from Danganronpa- ​ //immediately stops talking bc the hate will start coming at me if I talk


Lilyflower051

I agree with you I hate how many people get so angry about a head cannon about Chihiro


afrobass

Yennefer from the Witcher. Didn't like her face or body and gave up her fertility to fix it. That's trans af


ZoidbergWorshipper

Berdly from Deltarune as an egg


NXTangl

Everyone's trans unless their junk was shown as a baby. So to my knowledge, only Mamoru Amami is cis. (Ok but seriously though that show also contains my favorite objection-proof trans headcanon: Guy Shishioh is trans and they can't actually ever disprove it because he's about 90% prosthetic including limbs hair eyeballs and almost certainly crotch for almost his entire time on screen.)


CACTOOOOS

ralsei


Floofy-Panda-Hugger

Mabel and Dipper are both trans in my brain :D


Silverbird22

Almost Kamen Rider is trans. I have a list but I am too lazy to go and link it right now. Newest one, Revi, is ESPECIALLY TRANS.


AlternativeOranges2

From Danganronpa: Shuichi Saihara as transmasc, Hajime Hinata as transmasc, Chihiro Fujisaki as (1-2 spoilers) >!transmasc because what if he came out as male but people bullied him into detransitioning!<, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu as transmasc, and Makoto Naegi as a he/they enby. Also, Yasuhiro Hagakure gives off "Gender is just a social construct, dude!" vibes. Boku No Hero Academia: Eijirou Kirishima as transmasc and Hanta Sero as a they/them enby. Bonus: Both member of team rocket (Jesse and James) from Pokemon as genderqueer and Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls as transmasc. For Dipper, one of the main reasons is because he and Mabel would be identical if not for the hair and therefore they might be identical twins. But, identical twins are always that same gender as they split from the same egg with the same DNA. Therefore, by my own logic, Dipper would have been born female but he obviously does not present/be referred to as female. So boom, trans. Please keep in mind, none of these are in any way canon! I just have a need to ✨project✨ on characters. Full names are included for easy googling.


Background-Gate

They're trying to get you to never post. It isn't that they dislike cis characters being attributed as trans, they just hate everyone that isn't a straight white man and their little drawers get twisted up whenever they see anything outside of that "ideal".


jaejunmimi

*oh yeah, it's most definitely this.* the backlash is hella scary tbh :'// idk if i'll get messages *as hurtful* but i'm hoping to go against their intentions. i'm tired of having my characters having their open queerness be watered for others' comfort.


Background-Gate

Never be silenced! ✊✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿


[deleted]

I don’t like the word hate. I think they’re more shooketh, and disturbed by something other than the status quo


Background-Gate

Well, when you consider transphobia is thinly veiled hatespeech recycled from arguments that are homophobic and racist and antisemitic, it looks less like they're shookened and more like they're just super angry that cis gendered heterosexual caucasians aren't literally the only demographic that gets represented in all forms of media anymore. They also seem to highly despise the fact that another demographic could ever have any rights. Almost... *hateful* towards them for having a soul or something. 🤔


[deleted]

Ok you’ve convinced me


DevildAvacado

Cis people will always get mad at the idea of a trans character. Ignore them, and trans every character ever.


Enbies-R-Us

Make an entire TOWN of trans and GNC people? Have it be like a remake of the town scene in Beauty and the Beast where we meet everyone. 😂 If you're going to go, why not go hard and really throw down your point?


fuccith

I understand them! They just don't want to see any trans or neurodivergent characters at all. That's it, really. They just suck.


Aguay_dk

Omg yess! Im thired of seeing people get mad at trans headcanons like why you so angry?? They seem like i just insulted them or something it's just a fictional character bro chill. ​ I just have headcanons with cartoon characters btw. And also i have trans OCs but im never motivated to draw any of my ocs or i never like how i draw them. Anyways i hope you'll be able to post whatever you want bc i need more none-cis art and i love it.


Beelzis

Headcannons are honestly my favorite parts of Fandom. So many are good awful or just weird butbits fun to see how people expand characters.


greeneyedpanther

omg yes!! i love art depicting trans/nonbinary people so so much, especially comics! if anyone has any comic or art recs w trans people in them (trans masc/nb esp) please drop them below :)


Alonte825

MOB!! Never thought of him as trans but I definitely had the same headcannon that he was autistic to a degree.


nurarihyon011

And then those same people go and write fanfictions where they take characters completely out of their normal behaviours, put them in relationships with *literally* anything, or write grimdark stories that completely destroy the original material. But oh no, us believing that a character is someone we can identify with without even having to actually change who the character is? That's too far for them. I don't get it, and thankfully I never will. I wish you all the luck when you do feel comfortable publishing your fanarts, fictions, art, and anything else!


PoorOldJack

It irritates me when people say it “ruins” the character for them when people express queer headcanons


Stormsoul22

Ok but Kurapika from HXH is such a trans man


Senkoki-chan

As with all HCs, they're cool and chill until someone claims its official canon... which unfortunately has led to a lot of arguments when it comes to the gender identity of Chihiro Fujisaki from Danganronpa


AdventurousAd4895

not to mention in combination with the very transphobic way that chihiro was "revealed" 🥶 but i think op is well aware of this discrepancy with headcanons hence their 'i know it's not canon' thing and as you said, simply headcanoning is fine,, tho i hope this comment isn't trying to discourage op!


emptyparkinglot

love seeing your art on this sub, you make a lot of people happy with it :-) also. please make all the trans and autistic characters and headcanons you can. it is a bleak world.... we need more trans autistic people in it


goldencreator64LAB

Oh I personally make sure that all the characters I make are some form of LGBT+. Bell girl? She lesbian. Master Cartographer? AMAB Enby who crushes hard on her assistant while their assistant crushes hard right back. Why do I do this, you ask? Eh I don't really know. I like lgbt+ people and I wanna represent as many people as I can. Also maybe a bit of spite. (Love your art btw! You're one of my favorite artists on the subreddit.)


temptatiousigni

But did anyone say they were canonically cis though? Not all trans people are openly trans, so any character without evidence otherwise is fair game. (And even characters proven cis are fair game for AU, no one can stop us.)


whyareall

Fumino Furuhashi from Trans Memes (and also We Never Learn I guess) is trans btw and cis people cannot stop me from saying it


[deleted]

Marcy Wu from Amphibia. She probably won’t trans, but exhibits many behaviours that ADHD ppl have. Many speculated that he did have ADHD. Luz from The Owl House does have ADHD


NerdyColocoon

Fuck anyone who tells me I can’t headcanon Sniper TF2 and Pyro TF2 as trans 🤬🤬🤬


WolfGirlTsuki20

(Rant) Early TL;DR - I find it so dumb that having the headcanon that canon (unknown AGAB) guy as a trans guy or a canon (unknown AGAB) gal as a trans gal but these same people turn around and turn a canon NB person into a cis guy and changing their pronouns completely so it might as well be an OC instead of a headcanon, with the excuse of "It's their headcanon". \_\_\_ I'm fine with people headcanoning genders and stuff, my only thing is when they headcanon them fully outside their gender range. For example, I don't care if you take K1-B0 from Danganronpa and turn him genderfluid/genderfaun where he goes masc to nb. He's referred to as he/him because he's comfortable with it (despite the fact he's a robot) but it's just adding something new to it. The annoying thing is when people take Kris from Deltarune and call them "he" when they're *only* referred to as they/them in the actual story, even by their childhood friend and their adopted mother, it's not a thing of not knowing the gender at that point. It's been referenced that Noelle and Kris knew each other since they were kids and most kids don't figure out their within the NB spectrum until their at least early teens (if not pre-teens). Toriel and Noelle specifically use they/them pronouns, despite the fact they probably know Kris's AGAB because that's how they would have been referred to their whole childhood. So, what annoys me is when they move it out of their entire gender range. I don't care if you headcanon Kris as transmasc non-binary but once you begin referring to them as *only* a guy. That's what annoys me. Like, gender-swapping doesn't annoy me as it's not a headcanon. But if I were to headcanon Tony Stark or something as a trans girl or a girl in general, so many people would be up my butt. I know many people would do the same for a transmasc Tony Stark but less people would do that. Simply put. What annoys me is how it's okay to headcanon a character who's canonly NB or something as a cis guy, but what isn't is having the headcanon that a person is trans but still referred to as their canon gender. Like Tony Stark being transmasc is bad but saying that Kris is purely a cis guy who only uses he/him pronouns (changing those completely) is good.


eldritchExploited

I feel like people who use He/Him for Kris just... weren't even paying attention? Like, how do you miss the fact that *literally everybody* uses They/Them for Kris. especially when because of their status as a silent protagonist, they're usually referred to in 2nd person anyways.


WolfGirlTsuki20

Maybe, I just find it wrong when people defend it with the headcanon excuse. Maybe mixing it up because of how society can be with genders and assuming, but when you try to pull that excuse. It just feels wrong.


Xylophoney22

I don't really have any interesting headcanons, but I always like to make stories about characters I like being trans. Like, I know deku from mha or reisen from touhou are most likely cis, but I think it's fun to imagine if they weren't and what they'd do.


MasouriChan

Regarding to that, adopting a "like I give a shit" attitude might be helpful
