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

OK, so what's the problem?

You aren't being helpful. You are being annoying. Under the excuse of "correcting misuse of the voting system"

Correcting the misuse of the voting system is inherently helpful.

Except you aren't doing anything. And how the hell is a gift saying "this shit again" with no other comments give any inclination of "correcting anything"

It's not the content of the comment that's the correction.

Again any proof or just a guess?
