Talking to people in the real world who instantly reject almost all of the GI movements ideologies/demands.

I was about to say the same thing.

Currently, I work at a job that has a very..."progressive/woke" bubble(ex. my boss is trans male, my coworker goes back and forth between being a "pansexual" and bisexual instead of just sticking to bisexual, everyone is SUPER left leaning and talk about politics all day, etc), but outside of that there's a lot of normal people who don't agree with the TRA movement or don't give a crap in general.

Problem is the progressive woke are now in power over us.

If you're referring to the US, my outsider understanding of your congress led me to believe that while the republicans hold majority over the senate, it's unlikely that any crazy GI laws will go through because both the house and senate need to agree on the exact bill before it can be sent through to the president to sign into law. So they won't be able to just do whatever they want.
