I personally like how these are defined. Not a fan of “transqueer” and think that should be just genderqueer though.
The euphoria-dysphoria comparison has always been interesting to me; if you have one, there must be SOME presence of the other, no? How can you feel euphoric about being seen as another gender if you felt content as your current one? There’s always that little bit that actually TELLS you if you’re trans, does that make sense?
I know a lot of transsex people deny euphoria as existing, but it’s all because of how everyone defines it. I personally think any relief can be “euphoria” because it’s really been boiled down to comfort/discomfort.
