Contextual euphoria

Trans Feminine

So, a few days ago, an individual over on LinkedIn by the ID of "IlginIvyChen, PhD" made a post about the wellness industry from a woman's perspective that I responded to in the following way:
"This is true across the board, old or young, straight or a member of the LGBTQ+ community or anywhere else on the spectrum of what it means to be human."

Well, Ivy responded in a positive way and closed with:

"You're absolutely right. The adversarial relationship with the body and the capitalisation of our anxieties rarely discriminate. It's a framework we're handed early, and it takes real work to put it down.
And coherence (that state where gut, mind, and soul are actually in conversation)- that's a universal need, too.
Thank you for saying this."

This actually gave me a bit of a mild euphoric high. She didn't question; she just accepted me and my perspective without question. I found it cool. (Sorry for the outdated commentary; definitely GenXer here.)
