Morphology

transphilic + theme

The noun phrase is a straightforward adjectival modification: 'transphilic' (promoting rights/acceptance of transgender people) + 'theme' (topic), so the overall meaning — a topic that promotes love and acceptance of transgender individuals — follows directly from the parts. This adj+noun compositional pattern is standard and would be understandable to a B1 learner who already knows both constituent meanings.

Etymology

Transphilic theme combines trans (short for people who are transgender) and philic (a word part meaning 'love' or 'liking'). So it names a topic that shows support and 'acceptance' for transgender people.
