And then the billionaires use their propaganda networks to point to the lack of progress and say, "see, it's impossible, let's not tax billionaires. In fact, this study the billionaires just did shows that taxing the billionaires will just make things worse, and the real problem is kids knowing that gay people exist."
And, well, propaganda works.
This isn't at all related to the homophobic rhetoric of the 1990s, indeed many such feminists are homosexual themselves and who have found their single-sex social spaces effectively eradicated by believers in this ideology of gender identity.
In many ways this a continuation of the radical feminist movement of the 1970s onwards, where woman at the time were critical of the burgeoning transsexual movement, with those males demanding access to women's spaces.
Obviously, some TERFs exist, but for the most part the modern (post-2010) transphobia movement is a conventional far-right movement and tends to be allied with the homophobes, the anti-abortion crowd, and so forth.
There has, lately, been a certain level of discomfort amongst actual ye olde TERFs about the nature of their new allies, but when you make a deal with the devil, you have to expect a certain number of meme-obsessed Nazis to show up to your events.

If this is some reference to the recent Let Women Speak event in Melbourne, the neo-Nazis absolutely did not show up to support the feminists. Quite the opposite, they were railing against the organiser for "promoting lesbianism". Not allies at all.
