Hi there! I'm working on a story that will feature a non-binary character that uses they-them pronouns. Since I'm not non-binary, I was hoping that any YWS members that are could give me some tips and general information about writing this character.
I'm specifically looking for any cliches and stereotypes I should watch out for, or words or phrases I should avoid so as not to offend people. Anything you can tell me about your experience as a non-binary person or what being non-binary means to you is also greatly appreciated. I want to portray this character as respectfully as possible, and provide a character that non-binary readers can relate to and see themselves in.
(If your not non-binary yourself but have friends or family members that are, or if you have experience writing non-binary characters, and you feel you have useful input, you can still reply, but please state that your information is not from firsthand experience.)
