Feels pretty great, don't it? After so long, it still makes my heart jump hearing my pronouns and my name. I hope the same goes for you
I was in the same boat. I actually started using a pseudonym about 15 years before my egg cracked. I hated my deadname and I honestly didn't know why. Kinda just took it as fact and left it at that. And now that old legal name is gone and should never be uttered ever again =w=
Hasn't worn off for me - over three years in and I still have to rewind a conversation in my head to figure out who they're talking about when strangers use my pronouns. Then I realize "oh duh they're just calling me what I am" and I get all smiley.

For some it does. It still gives me a shot of happiness hearing it. Probably cause I don't hear it that often due to pet names being a thing.
