I have a meet-and-greet no-obligations coffee date this week with a trans man, probably leading to him coming over this weekend if we hit it off in person. I'm a cis bi man, and I've never been with a trans man before. Obviously he and I are going to talk about mutual expectations and limits, safewords, etc. But are there any things that I should absolutely not do or say that are basically universal in the trans man experience? I want to get off on the right foot.

Yeah, it's more the last part that I'm particularly worried about.

The best way to work through that is definitely communicate. While there are certainly near universal things to avoid like angel mentioned, trans people are all different in what we like and don't like. If you still want more general advice you could try trans subs like r/ftm
