It is a somewhat common practice to trademark a phrase you want to use for a movement, like "cruelty free" products, otherwise assholes could slap it on anything and it would loose all meaning. A trademark would allow you to enforce some standard to use the phrase.
Unfortunately, trademark can't stop people from using phrases like this in "noncommercial" speech. To me, it looks just like a request/hope people wouldn't use the phrase "trans agenda" to mean various bs.
It’s sarcasm. The phrase “trans agenda” is constantly used to mean various bs. Trans people didn’t come up with the phrase.
