Its not we're fighting or saying its wrong, its saying its ignorant to do so as in real life you can't walk up to a person and say "from now on your a transgender". In short your rewriting the so little canon there is its pointless and means you don't accept Flower. If you headcanon Flower as trans, you basically are saying "I don't want Flower as a female, I want her to be this...". Which is the problem.

Still the argument is because unfortunately bad information is spread in the past related to Vocaloid. In short, past fans spoilt everything going forward. The best example would be Blond Leon, though it wasn't Crossfrowne who made that design they made that design popular early on because they were a highly influential fan in 2009. And they didn't even know Leon was a Soul singer or his provider was black. So this design, which is still seen today, basically is far from what the imagine of Leon should have been. This is how headcanons can be dangerous, especially as people reject often canon when there is so little. And I'm avoiding the obvious misconceptions about "English versus Japanese" here when I say this because I'll sound like a broken record, but thats how the fandoms been in the past. There is I guess a fear of headcanons because we've seen all other nonsense and the price paid for it, so we don't want more misconceptions added to the pile of all others. In a more canon based franchise, say My Little Pony, you do have reboots and rewrites... But we can still go "In episodes 10 this happened". The series is a bible and people take canon as gospel. In Vocaloid the so few canon is tossed aside, a lot of it has to do with most vocaloids not having anything at all except "female Vocaloid, female voicebank" and CFM stated they prefer their Vocaloids to have no common persona. But this attitude gets applied to all Vocaloids and people will subscribe to that headcanon. So headcanons not only replace canon, but they refuse to accept canon and run wild. There are some honest fans I've come across from time to time who didn't know Flower even was "female" and presumed she was a trans because of someone else's headcanon. It only happened twice but in both times the fans could not accept her as female thereafter. That means, there is a problem.
