Storm clouds roll in overhead and begin raining on our two protagonists. "Euphoria sounds cool, but all I've ever heard of is dysphoria." The friend asks, while shielding their head from the rain with their hands. "What's that about?" "It's a feeling opposite euphoria!" Explains Evan, also raising his hands up to shelter himself from the rain. "It isn't always intense, but it's feeling off or weird about your body." The friend flinches as the wind picks up, asking, "What can be done about dysphoria?" "There's lots of ways to deal with it." Evan struggles to explain as he wrestles to open his umbrella. "Some trans people physically transition with hormones or surgery, but some don't. There's no one correct way!" Now both under the umbrella, the friend asks, "Do I have to transition to feel gender euphoria, then?" "Not at all!" Evan reassures them. "There's plenty you can do to affirm your gender, surgery and hormones aside."
