That’s it. No special magic, just treat everyone in the way you would like to be treated :-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Don’t stick your nose into other peoples’ private sex life; it’s none of your business.<\/li>
  2. If someone decides to transition their gender, don’t worry about it – just address them with their preferred pronoun and name, and job done. And whilst we’re about it (with particular reference to TERFs<\/a>), don’t invent bullshit reasons to be an arsehole. <\/li>
  3. Colour is just skin-deep. It’s a spectacularly dumb reason to be labeled an arsehole.<\/li>
