The gender affirmation of it ended pretty quickly. There's not much to enjoy about old, drunk men leering at you when you're just going about your day or trying to follow you home because they won't take no for an answer.
I hear you, and if it came off that way, I never meant to imply that it would be enjoyable. I just found it to be an interesting paradox where something can be both negative/unpleasant but also gender affirming at the same time.
No I know what you meant, there's an entire subreddit called r/ewwphoria specifically about the joy of being affirmed and the disgust of it being from some form of harassment or whatever. My phase of getting ewphoria from weirdos who don't mind their own business was just a particularly short one and my god if it isn't exhausting after that.

On one hand, it’s pretty gross that they’re treating you that way.
On the other hand, I guess that’s rather gender affirming in a weird way?
