Gender euphoria

(noun)

Gender euphoria refers to the powerfully positive emotions that can result from living in one’s affirmed gender (Source, source).

Examples: When Max first cut his hair short, he felt so happy he wanted to cry. Since then, he has felt more confident as a trans guy (Source).


Why it’s important to know this: Oftentimes schools impose dress codes that may require students to wear certain clothing based on their sex assigned at birth. Changing these practices allows students to express themselves freely, and may help students avoid gender dysphoria and experience gender euphoria.
