It makes me really uncomfy when people hc heavily transmasc coded characters as transfem...
Like whenever I see transfem Rowanstar and Nightheart hcs it makes me wonder how those people feel about transmascs since both of them are blatantly transmasc coded. Idk how you read the books and got transfem vibes from them but I wish people would stop
anon, i mean this in the nicest possible sense i can, but none of these characters are coded to be transgender. the writers did not intend any of them to be either transmasc or transfem. you need to understand that "coding" means a character was deliberately written to be something without overtly being labelled as such.
if you see a character as transmasc, that's great! but that is your headcanon. just like someone seeing that character as transfem is also a headcanon. just because you see a character as "coded" for something does not make it canon. it is an interpretation you may have made based on evidence you've read in the books, but it still just an interpretation.
someone not seeing rowanstar or nightheart as transmasc does not mean they dislike transmasc people. i personally don't see nightheart as a trans allegory but i can understand why people do and that's fine, you're allowed to do that. but people headcanoning him as transfem does not mean they have something against transmasc people like you seem to be implying.
idk i know this is a bit of a rant but this is not the first time someone has been like "if you see a character as x it means you hate y group of people/are xyz-ist" in the inbox.
