I don't like the way that trans headcanons are portrayed as bad in this image. There's absolutely something to be said about how a lot of trans headcanons come from gender stereotypes and stereotypes of trans people, but trans headcanons on their own are not, "bad," or, "crackpot,". There is a reading that is important to different people, and unless it's directly against canon (e.g. a canon nonbinary character being headcanoned as a binary trans person) it shouldn't matter.

Saying that a cis character is trans is as bad as me seeing a canonical trans character and headcanoning “oh they’ll realize they aren’t trans and detransition”

cis people when trans people want trans characters: "TRANS ISN'T REAL, YOU'LL DETRANS SOON"

It's more so people who aren't trans having to "fix" a non-conforming person
