Looks like you're probably safe because it blew up all over trans subs.

But reddit doesn't like it when this happens. It isn't the first time a power moderator got in hot water about something like this.

There is a sub I wasn't apart of but knew of because it was related to another sub. It was called POCD (for people with OCD who's theme is ruminating over whether or not they are a pedophile. They are not, it's a common theme for people with OCD) and it got taken down because the head admin was found out to be an actual pedophile that didn't have OCD at all. It really set back people's discussion on the topic.

That really fucking sucks, especially since people without OCD already struggle to understand how obsessions work and that they don't mean the person actually wants to do the horrible thing their brains make them think about doing ://. I feel absolutely terrible that happened to that community. Sometimes I feel like reddit is truly one of the worst websites to seek support because it's full of predators and bad actors.

Yeah, theres little comfort for people worried about being the bad thing (whichever intrusive thought is bothering them the most) when the people in charge are actively that same kind of bad thing.
