- who is holding the bag legally for content on the server?
- what is the editorial policy around trending hashtags? Trending posts?
- how active are the moderators?
- can they tell the difference between someone harassing a user, and someone just being generically awful,, and which ones do they moderate?

- what reports will they act on?
- how timely?
- how are decisions on all of the above made?

And it's perfectly normal for someone's gender to change many times, or even continuously, throughout their lifetime. The "detransitioner" is a hideous, opportunistic political invention that must be repelled at a fundamental level.
