The "trans ideology" was "TRN", a marking engraved on the casing by the ammo manufacturer, Turan Ammo.

A Wall Street Journal report, citing an ATF bulletin, had previously said the casings were “engraved with expressions of transgender and antifascist ideology.” The purported transgender symbols were later understood to relate to markings identifying the manufacturer.

wall street journal, as far as i know was the very first to publish it, after, I believe, steven crowder posted it on twitter.
