Celebrate Trans Joy
Gender Euphoria: (Noun) Describes the feeling of significant right-ness or comfort experienced when a person’s gender is recognized and respected by others, when their body aligns with their gender, or when they express themselves in accordance with their gender. Focusing on gender euphoria instead of gender dysphoria shifts focus to the positive aspects of being transgender or gender expansive.
