Mateo-Luis commented that it takes a lot for someone to be an ally, to understand what it's like to live in someone else's shoes. Deity said that even with allies, communication is essential to understand what makes them feel good and what their boundaries are, and that sometimes, allies believe they can't make any mistakes.
The group also discussed gender euphoria, a term Daniel revealed he was unfamiliar with. Sameer, who is nonbinary, explained the term and said that it isn't just about the pain and trauma of dysphoria, but also about finding what makes us feel our best.
Daniel praised the six youths for the captivating and heartwarming conversation, calling them an 'amazing group' to have listened to.

Mateo-Luis noted that it is a lot to ask for someone to step into allyship and to understand what life is like for them. Deity added that even with allies, it is important to communicate what makes them feel supported and what their boundaries are, and that allies don't always get it right.
The group went on to explore the concept of gender euphoria, which Daniel admitted he was unfamiliar with. Sameer, who is nonbinary, explained that gender euphoria looks at the positive aspects of our identity, as opposed to exclusively focusing on the pain and trauma that comes with being trans or nonbinary.
