I have seen trans creators in IG reporting that they are being filtered by this setting, so that’s not great.

Were they posting things re laws related to gender? If yes, maybe Instagram treated those as political and maybe those content didn’t reach many folks – due to the limit setting discussed in the article.

No, mostly just regular posts, meta just decided that being trans is “political”.
