From what I remember of Lisa Littman's and Abigail Shrier's research, the rate of young women identifying as trans or queer is drastically outpacing the rate of young men identifying as trans or queer (even though those stats used to be reversed). Consequently, the TQ+ craze is actually impacting the dating pool for straight men more so than for straight women.

Most people are straight though. It must mostly impact lesbians, because lesbians keep identifying as "men" & men keep identifying as lesbians.

But yeah, the phenomenon Shrier & Littman refer to is what has introduced a heap of heterosexuals girls into the trans population. It's become a sub-culture.
