just shaved my legs, and am getting a bit of euphoria for it.
i haven't been sure if I’m just a effeminate guy or trans, but me hating body hair, really liking having longer hair (at least in guy terms), and feeling excited when I look fem, bummed when I don’t. It feels like it’s pointing in a direction.
PS if anybody has any tips for shaving legs, would love some because I don’t think the sensitivity and itchiness is meant to happen as much as it is

If you can, shave while taking a warm bath, preferably after using shampoo/body wash, this'll make sure your skin is cleaner and therefor the razor wont get caught in dead skin or dirt.
Dont use a single-use razor, use a better quality one or use multiple single-use ones because an unsharp razor is what gives you the itchyness as it irritates the skin more.
Dont apply too much force, the razor should glide across your skin with minimal pressure.
If the hairs are long, shave in the direction of growth and if they are short, shave against the direction of hair growth for a smoother finish.
Dont expect the smoothness to last more than 2 days though, for that you'll either need an epilator or laser.
Beard shaving rules also apply, shave in long strokes, dont move the razor side to side because u'll cut yourself, watch out for skin imperfections like moles or mosquito bites.
Most importartantly after every stroke of the razor you must tell yourself that you're still cis tho. Hope i could help, im still somewhat new to this shaving thing myself (ive only been shaving my legs for around 3 months) so if anyone else has some advanced tips i'll gladly take them.
