Before and after surgeries I used the same Facebook profile, changed my handle and did the following which I consider tips for those who are transitioning
When Facebook suggest reposting old post, review comments first for any references to your old identity e.g. someone said "Hey Kevin" while now I'm Karen, get the hint.
Move old identity photos to a hidden folder or delete them. I elected to place the photos into a hidden folder.
Now I do realize many will elect to have one current profile and one for their secret identity, me, I recommend one profile, get it out there and be proud.
