Gender euphoria (GE) is satisfaction or enjoyment felt by a person due to consistency between their gender identity and gendered features associated with a gender different to the sex they were assigned at birth. It is considered to be the positive counterpart of gender dysphoria (GD)[1]—distress felt as a result of a mismatch between a person's gender identity and their assigned sex at birth.[2] Some people may experience both GE and GD, or only one of the two.[1] It is proposed that GE can be understood as "increased subjective well-being associated with gender affirmation, including gender-affirmative medical interventions."[3] People who feel GE may seek out hormone replacement therapy to alter their bodies.[4] Transfeminine people may experience GE after undergoing facial feminization surgery[1] and hair removal.[3]
