Trans is an adjective that describes my experience as a human being. It is not an offensive word, and should be one of many celebrated identities, especially during Pride, which is a month long PROTEST against the discrimination of our identities.
To ban these words was a poor decision, likely made by someone who is not affected by the decision. This is why representation matters. A proper community representative could have educated you on how to better combat trolling than to make a choice that only resulted in negatively affecting a protected class of people who were being harassed.
In the end, this choice punished the victims of discrimination, and perpetuated the idea that our identities are shameful and offensive.

Inexcusablly incompetent.
This is what failure looks like.
