Just you doing research and asking question before you meet them is incredible and youre already well on your way to being respectful to this person.
Basically, treat em like any other human. The main thing i think about in a new place is the safety of the place overall (talking to them will go a long way to make them feel safe) and whether ill be harassed just using the bathroom.
So besically do everything normally! When you introduce yourself you could ask how they identify and if they answer youll have a pretty good idea of which BR they want to use.
Now if you want to go above and beyond, and become this persons best friend at the same time, you can keep an eye on everyone else instead of this person. Just generally looking out for antitrans behavior (staring, usually with a disgusted look, avoidance, laughing and talking about the person, etc etc) these are behaviors theyll try to make sure WE dont see, but if you look out YOULL see it for sure. Snuffing that out will instantly make you the bestest of friends lol
Hope this helps, youre a genuinely great person ❤️❤️
Thats what im going for 🫡
