Euphoriugh

Euphoriugh is the sensation of exasperation felt by a transgender person who's experiencing gender-based discrimination or microaggressions typically experienced by cisgender people, therefore having their gender validated albeit in an unpleasant way.

This is different from "ewwphoria" in that "ewwphoria" implies disgust or revulsion with the situation (such as having a creepy person flirting with you) whereas "euphoriugh" implies a weariness or annoyance of much lower intensity.

Examples include a trans man suddenly finding that women are avoiding him while walking late at night due to assuming he's a cisgender male (and therfore a potential predator), or a trans woman being offered an insultingly low salary for her skill set and experience much like how a cisgender woman's professional skill set would be similarly devalued.
"I had an executive miss our briefing on Monday, so he reached out to ask for a one-on-one meeting for today and now he's ghosted me again. I feel more like a woman in the workplace than ever before; thanks, euphoriugh!"
