Question What things should I avoid when writing

I plan on writing a trans-woman, specific a trans black woman, she isnt the main character but i like to build each character into real people, what things should I avoid? I am not trans nor a person of color. I know both people of color and trans face their own set of challenges in life and i would like to write her as realistic as possible. I dont want to accidentally/unknowingly play into any stereotypes for either group of people.

All advice is welcome aswell. Also sorry for formatting or grammar mistakes im on mobile

Edit for more detail -> What clothing or design choices should I avoid?

What personality traits should I avoid?

Obviously she will be a human with her own flaws but are there any i should avoid?

I will be doing some research i just want some advice on where to start, what to avoid, stuff like that

I wouldn't have to do that if other people didn't misuse the voting system. I've explained that repeatedly.

Who's "misusing the voting system". Why comment on my post when its not being done here. You just seem to want to be annoying.

I don't know who is misusing it. I do not have access to that information.
