Maybe not assist with a full-out blog, but I could start a thread in the forums about LGBT+ identities? Like people who are writing for that genre, or are writing a queer character, I could answer members' questions and just host an all-around conversation in the thread about queer identity. Context for AWOW members besides Charlie: I identify as non-binary (specifically agender), transmasculine, and dress genderfluid/gender-nonconforming. I could answer questions people might have about coming out, the differences between stuff like non-binary and trans, what daily life is like, what the transition journey can be like, struggles, etc. I really love this idea and I've had a lot of different types of people ask me about this sorta thing. There would be no such thing as a "dumb" question, but I could shed light on respecting pronouns and why it's important, what gender dysphoria is like, major aggressions and micro-aggressions, hurtful assumptions and fetishizing, and so on. I could also make suggestions on how members could conversate with real-life people who have these identities. Also, I could offer commentary/answer questions about queer films and shows that do the whole "queer" thing right, those that could do better, and offer suggestions as to why.
