The Trans Möbius Strip: Gender Dysphoria Meets Gender Euphoria

Gender Dysphoria and Euphoria by Shoshana Rosenberg, Damien W. Riggs, and Salem Skelton examines the concepts of gender dysphoria and euphoria from clinical, theoretical, and lived-experience perspectives. The book traces the emergence of euphoria as a concept, its relationship to dysphoria, and its manifestation in the body, relationships, and frameworks of liberation. Using the Möbius Strip as a model, the authors demonstrate how gender is interconnected, nonlinear, and multifaceted rather than singular, proposing that dysphoria and euphoria are not two poles but a blended, oscillating experience.
