I feel that one of the issues is simply that some issues got spread way quicker than others.

When the main topic of the community was about LGB rights, same-sex marriage and such, how often did you see that in media? From the 90s to early 2010s I rarely saw gay characters on American shows and mainstream movies.

Meanwhile it only took a couple years of TRA ideas getting popular for TQ+ characters to pop up everywhere. Gender Revolution (documentary about gender identity) is available on Disney+, Love Victor (lighthearted series with a gay main character) isn't, it's only available at the more adult oriented service Hulu. An episode of Disney+'s original The Hero Project (another documentary series) also focuses on a young trans activist. No LGB activists to be seen though.

Because LGB is an actual civil rights issue whereas Trans is an agenda with a massive propaganda campaign. There's no money to be made off anyone just for being gay, but the surgery & drug lobbies stand to make billions from the trans lie. What you're seeing is a mass marketing campaign, and that's why it's just everywhere.
