One possible explanation for this difference is that, at their core, the two movements have entirely different goals:

For lesbian woman, gay men and bi people, it was always about being allowed to have relationships and sex without being assaulted, imprisoned or even murdered. It was about being allowed to do something that largely occurred in the private realm without it being dragged into the public realm by others who then seek to punish through violence, harassment, loss of one's job or of one's home. It sought a small minority of intensely homophobic people to stop actively harming LGB people. From the majority, it didn't ask much other than basic respect. Gays, lesbians and bi people weren't asking the straight majority to cheer on public gay sex or something to that effect.

The trans ideology is the opposite. It seeks for everyone - literally everyone - to actively participate in behaviours they wouldn't normally do (such as calling someone who looks obviously like a man "she.") They themselves make what happens in their private lives a public matter, by arguing that behaviour that in no way affects them actually does affect them, through nebulous arguments like "misgendering kills trans people."

I always think of the two movements as

1) LGB people want to live their lives exactly as they are, and to be accepted legally in society including the right to marry.

2) TRAs want to force society to validate them exactly as they aren't, and we are demanded under penalty to play along with their delusions. They are demanding that women give up some of their legal protections to include male bodies in women's spaces, sports, scholarship lists, awards, etc.

(I am happy to use the term transwomen and use the corresponding pronouns, but your trans rights should end when you infringe on women's rights.)
