Genuinely I think if you have ever come up with a headcanon about a real human person, especially regarding their gender or sexuality, or sat down and written fanfiction about them, you should take a serious critical look about the way you engage with media. It’s creepy and dehumanizing to do and you really should not ever be treating real people the same way you’d treat fake ones for reasons that seem incredibly obvious but clearly aren’t
#oh you mean like. tommyinnit!regressor content or whatever#okay#i was about to feel ashamed bc me and my friends headcannon our teachers every year#but only the good ones who deserve it#we have a money bet that my honors lit teacher is trans but no one has absolutely solid eveidence so
no that’s bad too and you shouldn’t be doing that either. you can not Have a Trans Headcanon about your teacher, or any other human being - the term for that is trying to clock somebody. it’s extremely impolite at best and actively harmful at worst. if someone is a closeted trans person that’s their own business and you really, really should not be speculating on it because it’s not information you’re entitled to. your teacher is a human person who deserves some privacy and respect.
