One of the more irritating tenets of transactivism/"queer" activism is its response to old-school gay activism as homonormativity ie. they looked at gay men and women who were sick of persecution and wanted to be allowed to live their lives as normally as possible and said "but WE want to be treated DIFFERENTLY because we're special and queer" and then built their personalities up around their superqueer microidentities. I do think this is because of social media and internet activism these days though, to answer your question somewhat (sorry, this is more of a rant than a response.)
