How to not "walk on eggshells"? (lemmy.eco.br)

Some time ago, I was seeing a post online about "walking on eggshells" and how people were annoyed at this, and it made me think a little. I always try my best to be a respectful and decent person, but when the matter is trans people I do get a bit nervous (I'm an introvert, by the way. I'm already a bit nervous by default). How can I be sure that I'm not offending someone while also not looking so worried about it?

Don't be a jerk and just treat us as you would treat any other woman. It's not hard, if it feels hard maybe you might not be as nice of a person as you think you are.

I do my best, I just have basic empathy. 🫡
