I get a solid rush of euphoria when the group I dm for uses they them pronouns as they talk about me. I'm only out in some spaces at this point, so it feels great having a space where things don't need to be explained or justified.

Correct pronouns are quite the reliable source of euphoria

Shaving my face gives me a lot of euphoria. I don't have full on facial hair yet, but shaving off the peach hairs and staring at my face in the mirror covered in shaving cream is a good feeling.

Having my chosen name on documents despite it not being my legal name yet, for example my therapist used it for the invoice they sent me
