    In this episode we reflect on the past episodes and note our main take-aways. Our challenges were mainly the difficult literature, sitting down with people you do not agree with and fear of being rude, toxic or even cancelled. In general, we learnt that there is a difference between agreeing and understanding and that having a neutral conversation in a neutral space decreases the toxicity. Lastly, our main take-away is that we should be as respectful and accommodating as possible for those who have to deal with the difficulties of living the trans experience every day.
