I don’t understand why people think it’s so hard to write lgbtq characters. Just make a character and then add in they’re queer. Give them a crush. Have them say it. There you go.
surely this only applies to LGB characters and not all trans or queer ones?
Trans and queer characters are covered by the option presented of having them say it. A character can say I go by they/them pronouns, or simply be like oh so and so probably won’t recognise me – they only knew me before I transitioned, or even ugh the pain in my chest was almost as bad as when I had surgery but I survived that and I’ll survive this. It only takes one line of a character saying something
