Can Anyone Give Me Some Advice On Writing Trans Characters In A Way That Is Both Explicit And Clear About

Can anyone give me some advice on writing trans characters in a way that is both explicit and clear about their identity, but in a manner that makes it clear that their identity isn’t the important aspect of their characterization and is not relevant to their character arc in the story?

For every fandom I’m in, the tropes and relationships I despise are the ones that about 85% of writers are writing. I’m always working with an incredibly limited pool of things to read. There have been untold numbers of times that I have found something I want to read until I see the tags, and the thing I hate is there, ruining my day. Not to say I’m entitled to anything, but I find it frustrating nonetheless.

I would be unstoppable if not for the problems
