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. 😊

    Ha, that’s definitely a win! Voice training made a big difference for me, one time they asked to speak to my husband <deadname> 💀 I’ve enjoyed so many awkward phone calls like that, it would be more euphoric if it didn’t create so much stress, lol

      I used to use the mens bathrooms an use the urinals standing while wearing a skirt early in my social transition. My threshold for stress is several orders of magnitude higher so getting right gendered then having to miscorrect them over the phone is no biggie. Well, compared to making the phone call to begin with because I’m an autistic little chicken lol
