I guess sometimes I worry that I may portray characters who aren't like me as stereotypes. So I try to avoid that and do research on what those particular people go through.

As an example, I'm currently writing a story with a disabled character as the protagonist. It takes place in a fictional culture that has a hierarchical structure built around eugenics, so the disability is important.

But I also want to avoid either portraying the character as an "inspirational cripple", or a "bitter cripple". It's sort of a balancing act between focusing on them solely as a character, and also being aware of their disability, and how it might influence their life experiences & the kind of person they become.

Tricky stuff. I just know that what I write can never be perfect, but I can at least try to make it... truthful to who people are, and respectful.

Still, it's been interesting doing worldbuilding, and figuring out how this character will physically get around and interact with their environment.
