i wouldn't mind the trans headcanon so much if people weren't so fucking vicious in defending it. oh, you don't think chihiro is a girl? then you're an awful transmiogynist with awful oppressive opinions and you must hate or know nothing about transpeople oh and you probably kick kittens for fun
I think a lot of people on tumblr are just using "headcanon" in this argument to try and pacify the other side. Like the difference between "Chihiro is canon cis" and "My headcanon is that Chihiro is cismale" is all the difference you need to avoid getting shit all over.
i know this part does happen, but the other side is too eager to attack others, while at the same time wanting to headcanon characters as gay or bi. if you want to go with different cultural context in japan, a lot of the subtext isn't subtext either.

which makes this whole tumblr deal so much worse
