How to not "walk on eggshells"? (self.asktransgender)

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?

You can never be 100% sure, because people are people, but just treat trans people as people and don’t do things to draw attention to them being trans.
