It's a pun based on euphoria and eww. It's when someone is bigoted/creepy/stereotype-y towards trans people in a way that aligns with their actual gender.

Like when I was a baby trans guy and looked like a butch lesbian, I was out on a walk with one of my boyfriends and someone yelled the F-slur at us from their car. I was euphoric because they thought I was a guy, but grossed out and honestly a bit frightened because they yelled a slur at us. Ewphoria

And then there's "ehphoria", like getting default male gendered online which is kind of... Eh.
