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".

Instagram should fix its algorithm then.
