Found this about it:

"Background - TransRights was started by Trump supporters as a hate sub (as evidenced by this post stickied by the mods. But obviously if you take .01 seconds to look at the page you can tell it's clearly a hate sub).

I am confident they are deliberately trying to get the sub banned so the sub name "Trans Rights" is no longer available for trans people and allies to use. And even if that wasn't the goal, the outcome would be trans people being denied a sub to promote trans rights as they see fit. The sub should be transferred to at the least a neutral third party (though that would be hard to dictate) or at least made available again."

I found "Queer Women" is being camped on by the people who run Actual Lesbians, and redirects you there. To prevent people from starting a more appropriately named sub.

How'd you find the stickied post? I tried to visit the page and it just kept saying banned.

I googled transrights banned reddit, and came across another sub, that isn't banned (reclassified) that had that as a post. So take it with a grain of salt. It's the reason people think it was banned, not the reddit moderators explanation.

Ohhh yeah that makes sense. Thanks.
