bad trans headcanon tropes to leave behind for 2018

• trans man binds with ace bandages until a Good Cis Ally gets him a binder
  
• “this is my buff trans wife and i want her to murder me” and other various phrases that make the association that trans woman = violent
  
• trans man is in a state of undress when another character walks in on him shirtless, which outs him as trans against his will
  
• character who is a man (or uses he/him pronouns) in canon gets headcanoned as a trans woman and then in the trans headcanon fanart she’s drawn even buffer and hairier than in canon just to prove how Obviously Not Cis she is
  
• drawing cis characters like regular people but then stylizing your trans headcanons to emphasize the characteristics of their ASAB
  
• exclusively headcanoning thin adolescent white boys as trans men
  
• headcanoning Real, Actual People as trans
  
• referring to adult characters as “boys” if you headcanon them as trans; infantilizing trans men in general
  
• not bothering to draw body hair on your cis characters, but always including body hair on your trans women headcanons.
  
• having cis love interests say anything along the lines of “i love you no matter what parts you have :)” like they deserve a fuckin medal
  
• only writing/drawing trans characters in nsfw situations / fetishization in general

1. devon-is-a-loser said: I always say “this is my buff wife and I want her to murder me” about any woman pretty much because I’m a big ole lesbo and depressed lmao. But these are genuinely helpful tips for portraying flattering trans characters
