It might be worthwhile to consider the decision by the moderators on enmasse regarding the same topic on their forum. They asked all participants to abide by the following recommendations:

1. No defining trans people's realities for them.

2. Pay respect to and think about trans people's voices before you speak.

3. Take the time to educate yourself on a few very basic trans issues, particularly regarding social inequality, before you ask people to explain them.

4. Be respectful of all people who identify as women or men, regardless of birth gender, and ensure that all voices are heard in discussion.

5. Be able to disagree, but respectfully disagree, without putting down or insulting trans people in the forum.
