Is headcanoning John/June as anything but trans transphobic?
No. June Egbert is a fictional character. Headcanoning John Egbert as transmasc or a cis female is not transphobic because he/she is NOT real. What is transphobic is being hateful towards REAL transgender people and disliking June for being transgender.You can make your own headcanons on John/June as long as you’re not harassing anyone, not forcing it onto others, and you’re respecting people’s headcanons on June and acknowledging that June is transfem.You don’t have to like June Egbert, you don’t have to buy into other people’s headcanons, you don’t even have to headcanon John as trans, just don’t harass people who like/dislike June, and of course, don’t be transphobic.If someone is making headcanons that annoys you, just block and move on.
Why was this Carrd Made?
This Carrd was made to dispell the bias of the other Carrd. Basically it removes the parts where the Carrd bashes those who headcanon June as not being transgender.June Egbert is a controversial character in Homestuck, so it’s best to proceed with caution.

Who is the fucker taking me back here?
The goober you see at the bottom of these pages is no other than Geno from Super Mario RPG. I chose him not only because his colors match June Egbert's God tier colors, but he is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. I even made a troll version of him.
