I have a feeling it'll all swing far to the other side, the pendelum has gone too far left.

That's the problem. The pendulum will swing back, it always does, the only questions are: how far and who will it knock over when it does? Just the crazy TRA-fringe? Run-of-the-mill trans persons minding their own business? LGBT+-organizations? LGB-organizations? Gay men? Lesbians?

Keep in mind, to the general public with its varying levels of ignorance or disinterest in the nitty gritty of gay life, we are collectively just 'the alphabet people'. If somehow the majority gets it into their heads that 'the alphabet people' have gone too far, or worse, perceive us collectively as dangerous, they won't bother to distinguish between the LGB and the TQ+. They'll elect some fanatic who'll promise to 'put a stop to this' and that fanatic will hate LGB as much, if not more than the TQ+.

I sincerely hope that I am too pessimistic, but these attempts at policing people's dating life and redefining sexualities are to me akin to someone poking the dragon. And it's not certain that next time that dragon wakes in earnest we get 'super gay' alongside 'super straight'.
