#anyways you're right seeing BBjr. exploring THEIR identity post-canon would be brilliant

[catcatb0y]

Bar/na/by being transfemme or nonbinary (post canon) = neat!! Canonically makes sense! Fun to explore! I'd like to see it more, honestly, because I can't actually think of any artists I've seen drawing this... Or people I've seen talking about this as a general headcanon...

Bar/n/ab/y being transmasc (supposedly inconjunction with canon) = makes me ask a shit ton of questions like 'when did he think about his identity when he was in the middle of not having an identity'. Aesthetically fun, I like the fanart and I love seeing people enjoy shows in the way that makes them happy! But in a canon-conjunction timeline, Barnaby would have been more femme on screen, as his parents' murder wasn't solved until after season one. He wouldn't have had time to question his identity, start hormones, or get top surgery before becoming a famous hero and meeting Kotetsu. (Which is what we see on screen in the canon timeline)

Very cool as a non canon or AU narrative, but PERSONALLY IN MY OPINION WHICH IS THE POINT OF THE POST THAT I MADE ON MY BLOG, it just doesn't make sense to me PERSONALLY so I DON'T INTERACT WITH IT much even though transmasc!BBjr. is a pretty popular headcanon.

I don't really owe you an explanation for my zero note post probably made at two am, but I like finding fun ways of adhereing to canon when considering 'diversity headcanons'. I am also Occasionally A Little Hater on my own time (on my own blog which this is) about popular headcanons that actively contradict canon or don't make sense.

A lot of people set up their headcanons as something that exists in conjunction with canon (behind the scenes, Blorbo Bleemus is actually trans and that's personally canon to me), which is fun and nice and necessary because we don't have a lot of on screen trans rep, so headcanoning people as just trans/queer but they just do not talk about it is important! For our mental health. I am just also a Little Canon Freak when I see stuff I like, so my little gremlin brain goes "But we see on screen that's not possible..." (Versus often seeing alternatives like comparing BBjr. to KT where K being an off screen trans man has no open contradictions in canon and would make more sense as a near fandom wide headcanon- or seeing 'sheltered rich boy is somehow transmasc despite his abusive parents (*non fandom specific this has happened three times now)! When like... Okay but what if Abusive Parents forced their kid to live as a boy, and said child realized they felt euphoria in being a boy! Or, of course, sheltered rich boy accidentally realizes that he's not a boy, which is fun and still occasionally brings out the little hater in me, but less so)

Like, a lot of people watched En/ca/nt/o and said 'L/is/a is transfemme!' which is nice and fun and poggers for buff trans women who want to feel seen, but, PERSONALLY if anyone asked me, I'd say the one who most "embodies the trans journey" is Is/ab/el/la who is so obsessed with her image as a 'Perfect Woman' that she denies herself of her actual joys and pushes herself into feminine stereotypes, an issue that a lot of transfeminine people deal with.

There's a lot of transmisogyny arouns the idea that 'you can be a trans woman, but you HAVE to LOOK AND ACT CIS and NO ONE can know what you're REALLY HIDING! And I, on my blog which this is, feel like that's personally an under developed headcanon that would align with the presented story.

I don't go and vent to people headcanoning L/is/a as transfemme, because I know they're valid and enjoying the show, but also I cannot spell grandma in Spanish I butchered it so bad spell check can't help me is... well... kind of not exactly the person to go "I accept your identity even though it 'contradicts' your personality" (a statement I have heard from many a close minded peoples), so L/i/sa being a buff child and (for lack of better word) "chosing" to present femininely, I feel, would not go over very well. Whereas Is/a would have sympathy from her grandmother, but be forced into a "perfect" and completely passing transition. It also makes her identity-based journey, I think, that much more meaningful when she learns that she can like things in her own way.

Also, I suck at phonetically spelling, but you can bend over and suck yourself clean off their homie. This post had 0 notes before you. Next time, I guess I'll re-Google how to spell in my tags in case some random blog I have never seen before decides to yell at me for spelling a character wrong. Or maybe I'll just spell them all wrong so you can't find my fucking blog, maybe that honestly.

If anyone heard me talk about some of my 'takes' on inclusivity/diversity headcanons, they would think of me as an asshole- but it's not because I don't want/enjoy/indulge in diversity/inclusivity headcanons, it's because you FOOLS the PERFECT candidate is right THERE!!
