Cool?? Don’t boost that delinquent’s ego!!!
Look at this. He’s lying in dirty laundry and doing fingerguns. That’s not cool.
Also, I’ve seen quite a few trans* headcanons floating around of various characters! There are entire blogs dedicated to collecting art, meta, fanfiction, etc of trans* Overwatch headcanons. If I knew what you were looking for specifically, I could make a better rec. list.
Regardless of all of that, throw away the idea of “canon” being something that endows certain readings of material as the most authentic. While canonical representation is incredibly validating (such as Symmetra being explicitly A-spec in her comic, or Tracer’s reveal as lesbian in Reflections), don’t let anyone take away your perception. Meta, the canon, peopLE WHO ARE REALLY LOUD and RUDE - it cannot stop you from exploring work in your own way.
There’s no final “truth” or “solution” to characters and works. There’s so much at play: the intent of the original creator, the symbolism in the work itself, and the incredibly diverse experiential standpoints of those who interact with the work. No one is “wrong” or “non-canonical” when it comes to seeing something through their own unique lens.
You matter. You have a say in how you want to relate to characters. No one can take that away from you.
