This ideology, long dormant, has resurged in the 21st century, creating a bizarre alliance between conservative anti-LGBTQ activists and a vocal minority of lesbians and feminists.

This has created a new, vibrant tension. If gender is a spectrum, then what does it mean to be "gay" (same-gender attraction) when gender isn't fixed? Young LGBTQ people today are increasingly identifying as "queer" rather than gay or lesbian, precisely because of the trans influence.
