Hanayome wa Motodanshi. - Vol. 1 Ch. 2 - Her Days as a Guy

This chapter brings up a great point- everyones experiences of gender is different! Even though a lot of times people define it by dysphoria (discomfort with/negative feelings about being perceived as the wrong gender), that's not the sole deciding factor! Theres also Gender *Euphoria*! The happiness of being perceived correctly or of having your appearance feel right. And to me the happiness in this chapter is definitely the same.

For instance, I don't actually have serious problems with my body (tho I get dysphoria from other things), but having my voice change and my face sharpen made me incredibly happy 💖

Also her mom being so sweet makes me happy... *my* mom always said whenever someone comes out to you, you should get them a cake (or similar) to celibrate. I feel like having your coming of age ceremony is kind of the same feeling.

She had such amazing luck that her family was so welcoming.

This sadly is not how it's like for most who come out like she did.

Really good information, as well for the overview, correcting gid to gender dysphoria is absolutely gold

Wow, it's scary how closely her personal experience matches mine (can't say that about family though unfortunately). Happy to have found this.
