I love the concept of ewphoria
It's so real, especially early in transition. I remember chatting with a coworker via Teams about cars, and he was being really weird about trying to flex his car, getting really upset I wasn't fawning over it, and being extremely dismissive of basically every opinion I had. I kept thinking to myself "wtf is this guy's problem?" because I had literally never interacted with a person so condescending when talking to me about cars.
Mind you, I'm an automotive engineer, working for an automotive company, who has been racing since before I got my license. I would say I'm decently knowledgeable about cars.
It wasn't until he said "There goes silly hovercat with her silly opinions again" that I realized "Oh shit, he's talking to me like that because I'm a woman". It was incredibly affirming, but definitely some mixed feelings about the whole thing.
That's when you need to come alive, just absolutely over-explain why his shit isn't that unique or interesting.
Oh, I absolutely did. He got pretty fed up and left me alone pretty quickly when he realized I wasn't going to jerk him off over his basic-bitch G80.
Hell yeah
