1. Educate yourself. Read books by trans authors (e.g., Redefining Realness by Janet Mock, Before We Were Trans by Kit Heyam). Don't rely on trans friends to explain everything.
2. Normalize pronouns. Add yours to email signatures, bios, and name tags. Say "hi, I'm [name], and I use [pronouns]."
3. Respect names and pronouns without fanfare. If you slip, correct yourself briefly and move on. Don't over-apologize.
4. Speak up when you hear anti-trans jokes, misinformation, or deadnaming (using a trans person's old name).
5. Support trans-led organizations. Locally and nationally (e.g., National Center for Transgender Equality, Transgender Law Center, Sylvia Rivera Law Project).
6. Don't ask invasive questions about bodies, surgeries, or "real" names.
7. Recognize diversity. Trans people have every possible sexual orientation (gay, straight, bi, ace, etc.). Being trans is about identity, not attraction.
