Assigning a transgender identity to a male character based solely on their expression of masculinity is indeed a stereotype and could be harmful. It is important to avoid reducing a person's gender identity to a single characteristic or trait, as gender identity is a complex and multifaceted experience.

If a headcanon perpetuates harmful stereotypes, it can certainly be considered dangerous in the sense that it can reinforce harmful attitudes and beliefs that can have real-world consequences. Stereotypes can contribute to discrimination, prejudice, and other forms of oppression that can negatively impact individuals and communities.
