I spent so long living with dysphoria that being mildly depressed was my normal, but that first dose of Estrogen wiped it all away in an hour. It was like a piece of myself that had been missing for as long as I can remember just fell into place, and I spent that whole first day just grinning like an idiot and struggling not to break into a little dance every time I walked across a room.
Runner-up: A close tie between soft skin and my androgynous new scent.
Worst things? Relationship troubles with a partner that isn’t into trans people, and the conflicting choice between going stealth for safety or being the visible enby I never got to see when I was growing up.
Funniest thing? Most folks still just assuming I’m a guy because I’m keeping the fancy moustache, and then doing a double-take when they belatedly notice the padded bra that bumps me up to B-cups. XD
For real. My only regret is that I couldn’t get started 'til I got away from Texas, and with the way the politics is going it doesn’t even feel safe to visit family there…
Honestly, the gender euphoria.

Yes absolutely your body knew! It just knew as soon as the estrogen hit it, it was the thing that was missing. Love that
