	* '''Do not mention the [[deadname\|name someone was given at birth]]''' or by their parents. It was chosen before the person was able to articulate their gender and express it accurately.

			* '''Do not use "Biological Female/Male" to distinct between trans and cis people''' or to talk about a trans person's gender (for example, calling a trans woman a "biological male"). It is [[Biological_essentialism\|biologically essentialist]] and basically misgenders the person. See [[Sexes]] for more information.
			* '''Do not assume that a trans person will (medically) [[transition]]''', for example by saying "They have not '''yet''' transitioned" or "He didn't get the surgery '''yet'''". Not all trans people want to transition, so this should be respected.
