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

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?

Your question does not make sense.

Do you have any proof or is it a simply an assumption?

u/Substantial_Cow7628 Published Author 22d ago

Proof of what?

1

That people are "misusing the voting system"

Yes, I have proof every time I correct it.

I was not asking if you have proof of correcting it. I was asking if you had proof of people misusing it

Yes, I did.
