okay yall, question time. is 'FFF [threesome]' a dogwhistle? has it got a history somewhere on the internet, bc i've been informed that it is but i've found squat online. anyone got any resources to point me in the direction of its etymology and pejorative use? much appreciated! <3

maybe i'm being dumb, but is the Levy report public? can i read what the doc has said? or do i have to rely entirely on the NHS' response to the review (linked below btw)?

hi other trans* folks! please boost this toot!

i have some questions about detransitioning which i'd appreciate your honest input in! i'll define detransitioning here as transitioning from gender A to gender B, then either back to gender A or a gender closer to A than B.

you can complete the survey here: https://freesurveys.org/s/q1f4PjmiPG

I got some really helpful feedback on this topic from some friends earlier, but I thought I would ask here too.

Having only been fully out about a month, I feel extra self-conscious the more femme I present. (As an example, I have never worn a dress out anywhere.) I identified an underlying thought where I'm telling myself that I haven't "earned" that yet.

Any advise beyond ignore/push-through those thoughts?

I have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to send an announcement of sorts to coworkers that my name has changed. I've directly told my team and others I work with on a daily basis. Is there a point to making a wider announcement?

I don't really want acknowledgement or extra interest, but I also don't want to be rude and have someone surprised by seeing it in Slack or in email first. This is a very LGBTQ+ supportive workplace.

I actually don't know if I've really experienced 'gender euphoria' the way a lot of people describe it. For me every milestone in my transition has just resulted a reduction of dysphoria. It brings a feeling of relief which comes with a sense of momentary 'euphoria' I suppose, but people talk about it like it should be some re-occurring thing? Like it's some high you have to keep chasing.
I've never been interested in 'gender euphoria', I just want to feel like a normal woman. Do cis people experience 'gender euphoria'?

I am hoping someone in here might have advice. I am in a #transfem support group. When I engage in it, it helps me a lot.

The problem is, every time something really bad happens to someone in the group, it sends me spiralling for a bit. And by "really bad" I mean suicide, or people going missing, or etc. Every time I engage with the group for even months afterward, I have these awful waves of grief. It pushes me to disengage, because it feels like the only way to insulate myself from the pain. But distancing myself also hurts, because my support network is otherwise pretty small.

How do I find an emotional compromise here? I need the emotional crutch this group provides, but I also need to be able to recover when that crutch fails.
