I haven't posted on here in ages but I need to voice on my platform that I 100% support the trans fans of Ghost and their right to have the Ghost fandom as a completely safe space.
Headcannon-ing that a character is trans does absolutely nothing to change the story or the projection of the band. What it does change, however, is the ability for a trans person to find solace and joy in the community. The ability for a trans person to see themselves in the characters they love.
If you are adamantly against trans headcannons of characters, you absolutely cannot argue that 'it's because the headcannon changes anything about your personal consumption of the band' . You are just transphobic and don't want trans identities in what you think is 'your space'.
Transphobes can suck my big hairy toe.
