Introduction
There's significant resources available on Facebook, especially in these Facebook groups. Note however the Facebook groups are significantly smaller than those on reddit. When I checked in May 2020 r/Transgender_Surgeries had 13563 members (r/asktransgender had 133k and r/MtF had 79k).
There are a few significant issues using Facebook
I have not linked any posts on Facebook, except in a very few cases where they have been shared publicly already.
