It's really fucking annoying shipping an mlm ship and everyone in the goddamn universe is like "the bigger stronger one is a dominant cis man who tops and the smaller weaker one is a submissive trans man who bottoms :)"

[gay-otlc]

Like, you as an individual can headcanon whoever you want as a trans man and write whatever the hell you want, I'm not gonna stop you. But it's frustrating to see such a pattern of fandom spaces constantly viewing trans men as small weak submissive bottoms. It says something about the way yall view real life trans men and that makes me really fucking uncomfortable.

[gay-otlc]

This post isn't just about trans men always being portrayed as submissive bottoms, though that's part of the issue. The other part of the issue is why certain characters are popularly headcanoned as trans men in the first place, and why other characters aren't.

The characters who get popularly headcanoned as trans men tend to have a (perceived) lack of physical strength, a smaller stature, and are perceived as more feminine. Oftentimes they aren't actually more feminine presenting, but are emasculated due to intersecting identities like race, physical disability, or neurodivergence.

The characters who don't get popularly headcanoned as trans men tend to be physically strong and have a larger stature, and lack the intersecting identities that the aforementioned characters are emasculated for (though they may have intersecting identities that they are hypermasculinized for, such as their race).

Saying "well, I headcanon [character who is popularly headcanoned as a trans man in a stereotypical and transphobic manner] as a top!" doesn't fully address the issue here. People need to question why they perceive some traits to be synonymous with trans manhood, and other traits as mutually exclusive with trans manhood.

Headcanon the character as a trans man who tops, sure, but also think critically about why that character in particular is "the trans one."
