Maybe it's the lack of policing and gatekeeping in your community?
It's the opposite, a gay/lesbian person will not force you to fuck them as a way to make their identity valid.
TRAs need validation every single day, hour, minute, and second. Even if they kill an entire family and eat their bodies, you GOTTA validate xher pronouns otherwise you're worse than a cannibal rapist.
How do you explain the UK? This backlash is not exclusive to the US. Also, there's a reason why people aren't as homophobic today, it's simply because homosexuals proved to straight people (the majority) that they are normal people just like them. The trans community and its activists are failing to do the same.
They want your support RIGHT FUCKING NOW without giving the majority ("cis") a reason to support them.
No, Elon Musk buying xitter did not convinced random people into being transphobic.
People were "transphobic" before that, the difference is that most people had to play along so their accounts wouldn't be banned.
You see, the issue with online censorship is that you cannot FORCIBLY REMOVE thoughts out of someone's head.

...And the married middle aged bank manager with 3 children who never had gender dysphoria nor gender nonconforming behavior in his entire life is SUDDENLY a girl because he says so? What about depressed lonely young women who never acted like a boy in their lives are suddenly putting "he/they" in their profiles when such behavior was unheard of even in the early 2010s? Sure. Totally natural.
WHAT ABOUT WHAT ABOUT WHAT ABOUT WHAT ABOUT WHAT ABOUT WHAT ABOUT
It's the opposite, silly!
