Just wondering what moments of gender euphoria or joy you have experienced, was hoping we all might enjoy hearing some positive stories!

I’ll start: today, I went to my laser hair removal place to reschedule an appointment and nobody was at the front desk, and after waiting for a while I went to use the ladies room and ran into a woman even taller than me who immediately called me gorgeous and then proceeded to compliment my makeup, earrings, and hair. I was like a deer in the headlights, simply stunned as if I had slipped into an alternate universe where this complete stranger was actually a close friend and I had forgotten. Nobody is that nice to me, let alone a stranger.

Anyway, women can be so wonderful, and this moment made me grateful to be a woman. 😊

    I’m not sure I get much of it anymore. I think it’s more a lack of dysphoria. I still get moments of dysphoria, and moments of euphoria, but they feel like part of the background hum of life, rather than at the forefront

      That makes sense! In a way that’s a kind of euphoria story of its own, that you no longer have to think about dysphoria anymore - that’s the end goal for most of us, I would guess.
