I get the feeling cis people don't wake up celebrating their bodies, but just accepting them in a way we don't get for free. Yeah, they might think their bodies are ugly in some way, but they don't experience that their bodies don't fit. Us trans folk go in wanting to get rid of something that's dragging us down, and we sometimes assume we'll whip from dysphoria to gender euophoria. When it's like, no, we're treating a problem. If you take antibiotics for strep throat, you don't go from having a scratchy throat to getting orgasmic shivers. The sore throat just goes away. And I think that's where the doubt comes from.
