Truthfully, I had forgotten that I had suggested to keep the names the same and simply made the change that seemed correct then.

"trans" refers to the fact that both of the backers whos names were changed are transgender and the names were changed by Toby out of respect for the fact that they had transitioned and do not want to be reffered to by their old names. Myself and many other transgender people are extremely uncomfortable with people being reffered to, and having people know our old names. I think it is not a small leap to assume that if these people asked to have the name changed in game, they would prefer for it to be relativley hard for people to see those old names.

As for "censorship", I do not believe that it is censoring anything, simply respecting the wishes and privay of the people involved. There is no pratical use for the information to be used for that I can imagine, and as such I dont think much is missed by not including it on the page.
