Gender euphoria
Gender euphoria (GE) is a proposed term for the opposite of gender dysphoria. It is the satisfaction, enjoyment, or relief felt by trans people when they feel their body matches their personal gender identity.[1] Transgender congruence is also used for transgender individuals feeling genuine, authentic, and comfortable with their gender identity and appearance.[2][3]
GE experiences can occur in external, internal, and/or social settings and is considered a conglomeration of positive emotions and subjective well-being in response to being affirmed in one’s gender.[4][5]
