It's basically a case of a predatory movement who've been biding their time and saw the post 2015 landscape as the perfect opportunity to take advantage of existing infrastructure to push their goals. Really the charities whose main goals were previously getting gay marriage over the line as the last major block to equality should have ceased to exist once it was realised. But too many people's livelihoods were at stake for that (by which I mean too many gala dinners were at stake), so they needed to find a new purpose to keep the money rolling in. And so the trans crowd rolled in, convincing them it was the next civil rights struggle and definitely not a group of mostly straight crossdressing men

Nowadays it's mostly a group of young girls trying to fit in.

Honestly, I don't even think it was any of those, and it's the endgame of social media.

The Internet already led to GIFT starting- people could be fuckwads on the Internet because they were anonymous.

Social media then changed that because people started being fuckwads under their real name/photo, and felt it was okay...and then, somewhere there was a sea change where being a fuckwad under your real name/photo led to people being emboldened to be fuckwads in everyday life.

The only thing the pandemic did was take these now incredible fuckwads with a firm belief they are the main character anyway, and put them back on the Internet where they already believed everyone else had no humanity and it's okay to do whatever you want to them.
