Do not ask about a person's body, genitalia, or specific surgical status.
Do not confuse being transgender with cross-dressing; these are different identities.
Avoid over-focusing on medical procedures or "before and after" stories. Transgender people live full lives beyond their transition.
Always use the name and pronouns a person has chosen for themselves. Their chosen name is their real name, regardless of legal status.
Use "transgender" as an adjective, not a noun or verb (e.g., "She is a transgender woman," not "She is a transgendered," or "She is a trans").
