in relation to my post about having more dominant and masculine male characters being headcannoned as trans men, i want to mention that i also heavily support headcannoning characters as transgender for No Fucking Reason.
i love it when there is absolutely nothing in the cannon media that could possibly be alluding to transness in any sense but we just headcannon the character as trans anyway.
i think it highlights the fact that trans people are all over, and their transness doesn't need to be a focal point of their character or identity. i hate motherfuckers who say "um. this character literally isn't trans though." because who made you the arbiter of gender? i don't need to prove my interpretation of a character to you.
maybe i see symbolism that you missed. maybe i relate to this character and im projecting. and maybe i simply decided that character is trans because i am trans and i think he's hot, and honestly, that is a perfectly valid reason too.
trans people deserve to be included in everything unquestionably. this includes fandoms and headcannons. even if you think its baseless and wrong. even if you think it's stupid. even if you think its cringe. idgaf. izzy hands is transgender because i said so.

thinking about the probability that at least some of the crew have bad eye-sight. there is absolutely nothing in the cannon to support this but i think partial blindness caused by a mix of diseases/infections, explosions going off right in their faces, age, genetic predisposition, etc. would afflict at least some of them, especially on ed's crew who have been pirates for longer.
i like to imagine that stede realises this and decides to get glasses for the ones who need it. i think (and i could be wrong) that in 1717 they didn't really have a readily-available way of testing what glasses were needed so he just raids several workshops and takes everything they've got. anyway, just imagine the crew's faces when stede presents them with these weird pieces of curved glass and tells them that they need to hold it up against their faces (frames that went over your ears were invented about ten years later). some of them get irritated when the strange contraptions make them see worse, not better, then really amazed/excited/maybe a bit emotional when they find the one that allows them to actually see well.
picturing at least one of the more visual-impaired crew members (maybe ed, but i like to think it would be izzy) enjoying being able to see clearly so much that they insist on carrying it around at all times, including during raids, which they're now trying to conduct while holding the wooden-glass thing over their eyes. at some point it breaks and stede goes back to one of the workshops to get (i.e. steal) some new ones. the people who run the workshop, who have only just finished making enough new pairs to fulfil an order from the local monastery, are not happy.
