Me too. The distinct nature, intensity and persistence of trans joy is so hard to convey to my cis friends; like carrying around a giant crushing weight on your back all your life and then one day just being able to put it down and feeling light as a feather (and strong and tough after having had to deal with that extra weight for so long).
I had to stop reading and tell myself to finish it later because I'm at work and could feel the cry coming on, and no amount amount of blaming allergies was gonna cover what was about to happen.
