I really think that the transgender movement is something that should be studied by historians very closely because it's one of those cultural moments that really gives you a look at the human capacity to self-destruct in the name of empathy, or as it's being called more and more today, "suicidal empathy."
What makes the transgender blitzkrieg that took over society for so long so much more interesting is that the transgender movement was, itself, bizarrely suicidal, and I mean that in two ways. It's pretty well established at this point that transgenderism increases the likelihood of suicide by leaps and bounds. However, what's also interesting is the fact that the movement itself is, frankly, prone to social suicide.
A lot of that came from the hubris it developed thanks to consistent reinforcement from the left. As is the standard with anything useful to the Democrat Party, transgender people were consistently told they were the most important people in the room and that they could do no wrong by everyone from politicians to Hollywood. Anyone who said differently was clearly transphobic and wanted to hunt trans people down in the street.
None of that was actually true, and as it became pretty clear early on, the only people who posed a danger to trans people were other trans people and themselves.

The issue is that this hubris clearly made them think they had more cultural pull than they actually did. Everything they had was actually artificial, so when they attempted to force people into something, they got pushed back on with more force than they and even the general population anticipated. Once it became pretty clear that the transgender movement wasn't the powerhouse they were made out to be, people got a lot more comfortable either shrugging them off or laughing at their stupid behavior and demands.
But the transgender activists couldn't stop acting like they had the same power they did a decade ago, and to this day, they're trying to use guilt and pressure to force people to adhere to their beliefs.
Take, for instance, this person who is telling everyone that if they enjoy anything related to the Harry Potter universe, they are harming trans people.

The idea that trans people are being "harmed" is a stretch. What this usually means is that transgender people aren't getting their way, and people aren't being forced to pretend along with their delusions. The claim is that merely denying a transgender person what they want is ultimately harmful to them. It's effectively someone holding a gun against their own head and screaming, "Just give me what I want, and I won't get hurt."
Suddenly, the onus for their well-being is on you. It's always on you.
But that's just not how the world works. Too few people are buying this line of thinking anymore, and the attack on Harry Potter is, funny enough, a line that many people were willing to draw. The Potter universe is what the kids would call a "core memory" for many millennials. They grew up on it. They dressed up as characters for Halloween. They bought the books multiple times because they probably lost their copy or wanted collector's editions. They know the movies line for line.
The transgender movement looked at it and told everyone, "It's either us or Harry Potter," and the decision was a no-brainer. We're choosing the thing that brings us joy.
Do that enough times, with enough subjects, and that alone will sour a population against your cause.
And that's not even counting the fact that they came after our kids, both ideologically and with guns. No movement can survive that level of macro-societal disrespect, even with the backing of major corporations, the entertainment sector, the entirety of the Democrat Party, and activist groups.
