FFS means Facial Feminization Surgery, for anyone who hasn't heard of that acronym.

Thank you. Why do people use acronyms everywhere, without any context ?

Because this isn't without context. It's a commonly recognised term in the trans community, used by a trans person speaking to other trans folk.

Of course, not all trans folk know the term even then, but still, the vast majority of people this question is intended for will understand the term

Ok, I saw this post while browsing Lemmy, I didn't realise this was posted on a trans community. Still wouldn't hurt if people didn't expect all TLAs to be universally known, and maybe add the meaning in their first use

Lazy writing I guess. Or maybe after doing so much research, the writer used the acronym so much that she forgot what it stands for.
