Did you have any recently? How recent? What was it?

What was your first gender euphoria? What was it like? Did you know what it was at the time?

(just looking for more conversation, sometimes it's a bit too quiet here.)

Getting to wake up and pick earrings and a dress is really nice. My first decade and a half or so of gender euphoria was mistook for "that weird kink I can't seem to shake," a.k.a. crossdressing. I think I built a wardrobe of embarrassing crappy Amazon stuff that didn't fit 3 or 4 times and threw it all out when summer came around and I was all "I can just be a normal guy". Lol. Can't count the number of therapist I asked to help me stop but it always came back. The "kink" was actually gender euphoria in disguise. It was one of those slap your forehead "doh" moments when I was sitting around in a dress and just feeling right. Looked at my partner and said "I think I might be trans..." to which they replied "fucking finally!"

This sounds so much like my early days. I used to purge all my clothes and makeup and all that and try to be normal. Never worked and I threw away or burned some amazing outfits. So regret it now but ya. Took me way too long to admit it was gender issues not a kink.
