To identify transgender fertility content with the highest online engagement on social media, determine its accuracy and quality, and see how this has changed over a 2-year period.
BuzzSumo, a content research tool, was used to identify the top 10 article links related to transgender fertility most interacted with on the social media platforms of Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Reddit. We compared article links from June 2019 to June 2020 and from June 2020 to June 2021. The articles were categorized as accurate or misleading based on the references cited and current research. A qualitative analysis was performed using article references to scientific literature and journal impact factors. User engagement was compared with the accuracy of online information using descriptive and χ statistics.

The top 10 article links for each time period were examined, with 7,077 total engagements. Fourteen articles referenced 14 unique scientific studies; no references were available for the remaining 6 articles. Alternative media was the primary source of popular article links, and accurate articles accounted for 74% of the total engagements. There was a significant association between the number of engagements with accurate articles and the time periods used for analysis ( < .0001).
As the popularity of social media continues to rise, patients are more likely to turn to online platforms in search of information and advice regarding fertility. Transgender fertility is an emerging topic covered by scientific peer-reviewed journals, news organizations, and alternative media, and it is imperative for internet users to consider the accuracy of the information presented by social media platforms. Further, reproductive endocrinology and infertility physicians should use social media platforms to educate their patients on the topic of transgender fertility and prevent the spread of misinformation.

检查了每个时间段的前10篇文章链接，总参与度为7077次。14篇文章引用了14项独特的科学研究；其余6篇文章没有参考文献。另类媒体是热门文章链接的主要来源，准确的文章占总参与度的74%。准确文章的参与度数量与用于分析的时间段之间存在显著关联（P <.0001）。
随着社交媒体的普及持续上升，患者更有可能转向在线平台寻求有关生育的信息和建议。跨性别者生育是一个新兴话题，科学同行评审期刊、新闻机构和另类媒体都有涉及，互联网用户必须考虑社交媒体平台提供信息的准确性。此外，生殖内分泌与不孕不育医生应利用社交媒体平台就跨性别者生育这一话题对患者进行教育，并防止错误信息的传播。
