Most LGB people who parrot TWAW are young and still have so much to learn before they can truly form an opinion on the matter. They lack the critical thinking skills to do so because their brains’ haven’t fully developed the ability yet. Also, I think it has to do with the stereotype that inhabitants of alphabet city are extremely liberal and want to be on ““““the right side of history””””. IMO, of all the stereotypes about the LGBT2QBIGMAC+ community, this is the most harmful and is what feeds into emboldening the TRAs

There's also the stereotype that the only people who don't support trans causes are hardcore alt-right figures, therefore if you're not supportive of everything trans, you are therefore on the far right. There is no willingness to acknowledge that people can be critical of gender ideology while falling on the liberal or progressive scale of socioeconomic issues.
