Summary
- Sarah Keyworth explores gender euphoria, the opposite of dysphoria.
- The comedian shares moments of joy from living authentically.
- The Radio 4 series 'Are You a Boy or a Girl?' is in its final episode.
Comedian Sarah Keyworth is sharing personal reflections on gender euphoria in the concluding episode of their Radio 4 series, 'Are You a Boy or a Girl?'. Gender euphoria is described as the opposite of dysphoria, a feeling of profound joy experienced when one lives in alignment with their true gender identity.
Keyworth recounts specific moments from their life that evoked this positive feeling. One such instance involved a family friend giving them a haircut that moved away from a conventionally feminine style, liberating them from a perceived "classic five-year-old girl" look.
The series, which first aired in 2020 and returned for an award-winning run in August 2023, has coincided with a significant public discussion around gender. Keyworth, who has identified as non-binary, uses the series to provide "mx-information," a playful term for gender non-conforming insights.
