-Refer to them by a nickname based on their physical body.
-Refer to them by the opposite gender pronoun that they identify with, then proceed to tell them that they look like that gender role with which they don't identify.
-Objectify them by making sexual advances and/or comments towards them about sexual advances when you know that they have recently experienced turmoil and are feeling raw/vulnerable.
-Talk non-stop AT them, when they clearly only need someone to sit with them and listen.
-Mock them and their feelings in front of strangers BECAUSE OF YOUR OWN DISCOMFORT WITH YOURSELF AND YOUR OWN FEELINGS.
-Tell them that people are speaking negatively about them.
-Laugh when they tell you about something positive in their life, simply because it goes against your own perception of what success and happiness looks like.
-Scoff at them changing their mind on a regular basis because they don't know what their next step looks like.

Self awareness and self knowledge can be intimidating when we see it in other people. Try to be inspired, rather than intimidated. Notice what you "don't like" in other humans. Investigate into the nature of your dislike. Is it simply a matter of preference? Or is it an insecurity with the ways in which you identify with those same qualities?
