Experiences Whats making you angry today? Rp pet peeves

[pixie.]

my pet peeve is assuming their sexuality or gender is the only possible aspect to a character given its not straight or cis. it’s not hard to roleplay a trans person without using stereotypes. just don’t make it their only character trait. if it’s not relevant to the plot don’t make it a big deal at all.

I'm guessing this is a comfort thing? I have attempted to write trans characters before, but it's hard for me to do them justice without relying on common tropes and stereotypes.

I find in general if your worries about stereotypes basing the character on a real person helps. Obviously this requires you to know a trans person (or whatever identity your wanna write) but it can help you get away from tropes and such.

Yea, that's the problem. I don't have a lot of experience with the trans community or trans people.

Luckily there are a lot of trans people on this site. I’m sure if you posted a thread asking questions you would get some nice responses.
