This might be one of the more important emotions I've explored, and also one of the emotions I am least qualified to talk about. So I spoke to someone who is: writer Laura Kate Dale!


Gender Euphoria is the joy you feel when thinking about your true gender identity, and it's mostly associated with the transgender or non-binary community. It can occur in different ways, for different reasons. And it's a happy feeling, a feeling of enjoyment and delight. So let's celebrate it!


Laura has recently released a book called 'Gender Euphoria', so she was perfectly placed to talk about what this emotion means and how big a deal it is. Plus, she kindly shared a few stories from the book with me, which gives us a peek into more joyous stories from the trans community, and shows how important those moments of acceptance are.


As Laura mentions at the beginning, gender euphoria is the opposite of gender dysphoria, a more medical term. So I delved a little into that too, and asked Laura if you can have one without the other. Finally, as you can tell, I was just thrilled to find one more happy emotion- one that lets us celebrate and amplify stories that maybe haven't been given as much airtime as they should have.
