Mainstream UK press has serious problem with TERFs, so my question was genuine: is my understanding correct, that the issue stems from someone linking to misgendering, dead naming article?

No. That is not correct.

Someone posted an article discussing some issues around women's issues specifically apropos The Green party. Actually a good article.

The article mentioned Aimee Challenor's name and the scandal around their deputy leadership bid.

This happened to be posted to reddit. It was removed by admin and the poster (a mod) banned. No one knew why.

Only when reddit made a statement to mods did it become clear that was the reason.
