When Ben tells his parents, (Amy Landecker and Judson Mills), that he wants to talk to them about something-being non-binary-a door is heard being slammed. Ben is next seen barefoot and crying outside. Having been thrown out of his home, he calls his estranged sister, Hannah (Alexandra Daddario), in Raleigh, who takes him in. Her husband, Thomas (Cole Sprouse), helps Ben get settled in a new school, where he meets Nathan (Miles Guttierez-Riley), whom he learns is bi.

A graph, supposedly used to track the number of US citizens aged between 18 and 22 who identifed as trans or non-binary from 2021 to 2024, was created by American professor of psychology Jean Twenge, in response to claims by right-wing academic Eric Kaufmann that "trans identification is in free fall among the young". In a post on X/Twitter post earlier this month, Kaufmann shared "analysis" that he claimed showed fewer people were publicly identifying as trans. But the research was challenged by journalist Erin Reed, who said it contained "a massive statistical error" by ignoring binary trans people.
