Thought experiment:

You're tasked with making a sequel to ResetEra. There isn't a huge backlash like there was with GAF > Era, but instead, notable members make it known they are unhappy with the status quo and so, in dribs-and-drabs, new (read: Era) members start signing up to this NewResetEra site over a period of weeks and months.

I think we are all fairly on the same page with what issues the site currently has; idiotic moderation, fealty to 'famous' members, inconsistent moderating, extremely poor/non-existent communication with the wider community, and then site-wide decisions being made by cliques. Then on top of that, you have users like Echoes/Fat etc. who put on 'trans' labels in order to be able to deflect from any criticisms and generally act like lairy creeps.

What rules do you put in place to deal with that? You're not transphobic, but you don't want to appease the infantilised weirdos who are acting as trans. What do?

I'd put Nintex in charge as head mod, sit back, and let the comedy play out.
