I'm taking them being posted at the same time as a sign that talking about being trans isn't political, which is hopefully the case.

it's quite literally an admission to the opposite.
if LGBT stuff wasn't political, there would be no need for the topic at all. it'd simply be , moderation would already follow that. by making the topic it's acknowledging that yes it's political but it's also protected in some vague way that nobody knows, in any direction.

essentially it's just a shield to avoid getting pushback from extremely vocal communities.
