People don't realise it is happening. They just take what is being said at face value and move on with their lives, because they aren't part of the "LGBTQ+" and have better things to do. The people who do realise are silenced and gaslit and told it isn't happening, until one day, real homosexuality is bigoted and hateful and we should examine our preferences. Nothing more than a modern spin on the classic "homosexuality is disgusting and sinful and we should repress our sexuality".

This has been my experience. A few years ago one of my friends showed me the Riley J Dennis video on genital preferences being transphobic and I said something to the effect of "that video was stupid". I thought that Riley was just some fringe crazy and nobody actually agreed with him. Then I sort of forgot about it until I downloaded the reddit app. I joined r/lgbt and corrected someone who referred to homosexuality as a genital preference. I believe I simply crossed out the words "genital preference" and wrote "sexual orientation". I was promptly banned.

So here I am a year later, having done my research, I completely reject gender ideology because it is incompatible with respecting myself as a gay person. It is also incompatible with feminism and the women's rights movement which is why T*RF is their slur of choice. But I wouldn't have found out if I hadn't gone on reddit and seen it for myself. You really have to go online to see it.

The awful thing is that they'll gaslight you and claim that they're fringe views, when we see all the time on social media people are being harassed by other TRAs with those views. And lots of media and literature is getting written in support of those views, like that "Girl Sex 101" book that's mostly a lesbian grooming manual and spends most of its time telling you how womanly trans women are, how it's normal for pregnancy to be a concern with lesbian sex, how to handle a girldick, etc.
