This might sound a little silly, but one thing that gives me a crazy amount of gender euphoria is goldsmithing, and I think it's derived from when I used to watch Forged in Fire as a little kid.

I am a goldsmithing student. Any and all work I do with metal is to make delicate pieces, or jewellry, or little figures. And still, somehow, when I have my hammer in hand and I'm welding pieces together and such, it reminds me of the big buff men making their huge knives from when I used to watch FiF with my bio-father. And I feel like one day I could be one of them too; just, with my little figures instead.

That is so amazing and cool!! From both an expression of masculinity viewpoint but also just because goldsmithing seems cool as hell. I love that so much!
