It is time for us to use our common sense.

It is time to be human being and show basic human kindness. I preach this a lot, but be respectful.
Treat others like you want to be treated.
Listen to The Golden Rule
When talking to someone who is transgender don't make a big deal on the fact that they are transgender. One of the most invasive thing you can do beside physically touching someone that is transgender is asking them about their genitalia. It not anyone's, but their sexual partner(s) business. Let's use some common sense would you like people bringing up your genitalia in a normal conversation? You also have to know your relationship. It is okay for someone's best friend to ask them a question that they wouldn't want to hear from a stranger. If you are transgender you can refer someone to this article or others like it. If you are transgender and do get ask something you think is inappropriate you can do two things, one tell them politely that it is inappropriate or educate them so that they know better what being transgender. Preach knowledge not hate.
Don't talk behind people's backs. If you say you accept someone mean it. If you don't see someone as the gender they are than you don't accept them. If you think that a trans man is lesbian if they like girls or a trans woman is gay if they like males that you don't accept them. If you think like this you don't see them as the gender they are. For more info on that check out my Sex vs Gender post I will link it down bellow. The bottom line is if you have double standards for someone that is transgender and someone that cis than you don't accept the person who is transgender. You might believe you do, but you are lying to yourself. Try to get yourself educated because in the end you will only end up hurting the person who is trans and possibly ruin a relationship.
Everyone has the right to believe in what they believe we can't do anything about that, but act like you are so excepting when you are not. Not only is it fake, but it can also be very destructive for the trans person's metal state. Other things you should avoid is the words tranny, sissy, you're confused, are you sure, you have a mental condition, you are just lying for attention, and many others. There are many possible ones and I can't name them all, but use some common sense. We humans have made many mistakes and repeat them over and over again. People don't think that being transgender is a real thing just like they didn't believe being gay was a real thing. People don't want transgender people to use the restroom because they are apparently rapist. They actually said the exact same thing about homosexuals and people of color. We are letting history repeat itself and all this hate needs to stop.
