#ewphoria

[tgirl-tamag0tchi]

I got catcalled… but I didn’t even really notice what was happening until one of the other guys in the car of guys, as they were driving away, shouted at his friend to “STOP CATCALLING HER!”

So like, ew, but nice of that dude to tell off his friend I guess, and weirdly euphoric. Also gendered correctly lol… I guess that part makes sense at least with the catcalling.

Anyways I’m gonna eat spring rolls now.

Om nom.

A collab with my brother. He goes by Seityr on other platforms. He has taken the annoying big younger brother with an older sister thing well. He always tries to be as affirming as possible.

Throughout my stay here on tumblr, I have been stalking my likes and Ive found that my following is composed of a ~2:1 mix of 40+ year old men(chasers) to fellow trans gurls.

The lil devil on my shoulder then thought there is nothing more womanly then getting gawked at by men decades older than me showing off my dresses and fishnets; so I should be proud of my self >:3

Im taking the ewphoria and running with it… but something tells me I’ll regret it later. Which we in the business call a

I saw someone say lately that one potential reason that some TRFs push back against the concept of 'malgendering' (despite the fact that it impacts all trans people) as something made up by trans men to 'create problems where there aren't any' and 'demonise using your correct gender so you can always be the victim' is because they're only familiar with it within the context of 'ew-phoria'.

Ew-phoria being when one feels validated (gender euphoria) because someone gendered you correctly when saying something negative or even bigoted about you.

However, it's important to realise that not everyone experiences 'ew-phoria' and 'well they clearly hate me/my gender but at least they refered to me as the correct gender' isn't the reaction most people have and isn't healthy to continue to validate within yourself or let people get away with.

I really believe that these TRFs assume everyone gets ew-phoria and will take any kind of validation and that it's healthy to settle for malgendering. Therefore, if they're malgendering a trans man it's fine because that trans man should be feeling euphoric about it because they were called a man regardless of the actual content of the message. And like, no, just no.

I'm not saying you're bad for feeling ew-phoria because it literally cannot be controlled. I understand that sometimes you ache so badly to be refered to as the correct gender you will literally take anything.

But I really do think it's clouded some minds to what is really happening. Malgendering is the name of the transphobic act, ew-phoria is what you might feel from it but it's still a transphobic act and needs to be treated as one.

People simply are not allowed to get away with saying bigoted and predjudice stuff about a trans person just because they're gendering that trans person correctly. Nobody gets to exploit that 'loophole' and get away with it.

Even if you feel 'ew-phoria' you need to call out anyone who is clearly disguising some kind of predjudice behind malgendering. Again, do not let them escape through the loophole of 'well, I didn't misgender you so clearly if you're upset I said this it's because {cue excuse}'.

So I got catcalled for the 1st time the other night. I was walking home from getting some Chinese food, got a genuine, unabashed 'Hey baby how you doin?' From this group of dudes. Ignored them, kept walking.

I was trying to find the words to discuss the ewphoria here, and went to get a gyro down the road today. A pair of women were leaving their apartment, I complimented their outfits and kept on my way after they reciprocated bc ya girl looks good in red. While I was going on my way, one of them shouted out 'That booty shake gonna put me in jail'.

Speedrun strats, I guess.
