MODERATORS
Cis-yt-male here, so take my limited-perspective opinion however you'd like...
But... Wouldn't it be better to first talk to the mods of that c/?
My understanding (again limited...) is that the r/ they are modeled on (and took the name from) has existed for quite awhile, long enough to where most peeps were much less aware of trans inclusive issues back then
I wholeheartedly agree with you that trans inclusivity should be a forefront in the movement, but my 2¢ would be to start with the mods and see about changing the name/editing the sidebar to be more inclusive. It is 2023 afterall, and this is SLRPNK. I have a feeling peeps here would be very open to that dialogue
People were messaging the mods of that subreddit a few days in about the transphobic name, and they made a stickied post saying they weren't going to change it a month after it was created. Trans issues have been at the forefront of consideration of that name from the very beginning. And in like fashion, other people have commented on /c/twoxchromosomes' inauguration post with the transphobia issue, and received no response from the mods. I've created a post on the community calling for action from the moderators and pointing out the flaws, but I'm not crossing my fingers here. I'd rather that post work, but if it doesn't, we have this one
I'd like to add this:

They said they'd never change their stance on the name.
