Guys i need help lmao

Guys i need help lmao | They/them; Creative; Does anyone have tips on writing LGBTQ Characters for books? (Specifically regarding genderfluid, bigender, androgynous, etc; and also people on the ace spectrum) I don't want the characters to feel one-dimensional and stereotypical or anything. I haven't been around a lot of LGBTQ people in my life (albeit the ones i have been friends with were just about the nicest people on earth) so i don't really know how some genders (or sexualities?) act or present themselves. I'm sorry if i sound rude I've only really been part of the community for <6 months. There are just a few things i haven't really come to understand, and i thought it would help if the answer came from someone who actually identifies as that thing rather than Google. | image tagged in protogen_palemoon's new template,lgbtq,writing,books,characters | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

I am personally a demi-girl, so this might be half useful- (I'm hilarious, I know) But I would say we don't act any different then a cis-gender person! Depending on the temperment of the character, they may care more about being gendered properly, or brush it off- (For example, I really don't care much about being misgendered, but my partner, who is nonbinary, does, and will correct you.) I would wager to say if the character is AFAB, they would lean towards masucline clothing, and if they are AMAB, they would lean towards feminine clothing, but that is simply me, and my experiences!

Thank you :D
This is really helpful because my gender and sexuality have been all over the place
Discovering my true identity, I went from female to demigirl to agender, and from straight to bi to pan to omnisexual, and from she to xe to they to constantly frickin changing pronouns depending on the day, and now i don't feel so questioning. I think i finally found who i am. And why i get so much dysphoria even as a kid i just hadn't realized it for what it was yet
But yeah that's me
