Anon. Stop.
Look, I’m going to ignore the “Making a character everyone can identify with isn’t hard” thing because anyone who HAS written a character knows that’s not true.
But look. I’ve explained myself calmly and rationally and you’re being manipulative. You’re twisting my words and I’m not having that. I have concluded by this exchange that you’re nothing but an entitled, manipulative child. And if you are indeed trans, you really need to take a look at how YOU are representing your community rather than worrying about someone who isn’t out of respect.
I will leave you will one thing: I don’t owe you a trans character, anon. I don’t owe you shit. You’re the only one complaining I don’t have one. So don’t put words in my mouths or the mouths of my other followers.
Just saying, there is such a thing as terrible Trans representation.

And being able to write a good LGBT is not the same as being able to write a good trans character. There is overlap, but it’s not the same. And you shouldn’t force somebody to create a character when they have a terrible understanding of such things.
Agreed.
LGBT representation is good and all, but not every piece of fiction is going to have every sexuality or identity on the spectrum… That’s not because the writer is anti-LGBT (or whoever they don’t include), they’re just concerned about getting them right, and in a society where people get offended over everything I don’t blame them..

I mean people will rip you apart for any little thing you do wrong these days so…yeah
