US labor unions have been systematically weakened for decades, though, so that's not a very good chance. Labor organizing can do powerful things, but it doesn't tend to work overnight on the scale needed.
This crisis is not going to get solved by individuals. The route for individuals to take is infiltration and nudging of the two parties from within — but that is not general advice you can give to everybody, it takes a certain kind of individual to do that. E.g. if you are a person like AOC, trying to replace you Dem representative would be a very good venue to help the cause.
But most people aren't that politically capable or stubborn to run (they rather complain about politicians than mame those decisions themselves).
So outside of that it takes organizations to take stances. Organized labour, churches, other kinds of groups that can turn out in big numbers.

I think the problem is one of a non-united grouping - Most people are accepting of L, G and B, but not T.
The actual L and G friends I have (Don't have any B friends; or if I do, I don't know about it) individually try to distance themselves from the T.
There would have been much less for Trump to mudsling on if the opposition simply dropped support for T while keeping L, G and B.
Having LGBT as a single block that you are either for or against is stupid because while most people would be either neutral or positive about L, G and B, the clear majority of people are not neutral on the proposals from the T camp.
There is no right to pronouns or to being referred to in whatever way you want. In fact, policing that kind of thing is an infringement on other people's right to free speech either.
There is no right to expensive surgeries either, especially cosmetic ones.
There is also no right to deciding which bathroom you get to go to.
Please be precise which rights you think are "human rights" and why.
You don’t have to use pronouns if you don’t want to.
Why do you care if another human’s happiness is centered on gender identity?
No one has ever been assaulted by a trans but every day there’s another report of a pastor or priest molesting children.
“life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” is in our declaration of independence.
I'm pretty certain that that is not true. Language policing was a big problem - "use the wrong pronoun and lose your job" is not a meaningful choice to many people.
