A very public example of how things have been with the trans-ideology before Kirk's assassination would be J. K. Rowling in the UK. She is reliably liberal, feminist, etc.. But because she does not support the trans-ideology, she has been under several years of howling attacks in social media, and the trans advocates have been calling for boycotts of her books (I think this boycott will result in a Streisand - or CfA - effect outcome, her sales increasing and not just briefly. As for Rowling, I don't think she'll go full-mugged-liberal, but suspect she's done some thinking about where her liberal views can go.
I think the US will be going through a year or so of whether escalation will continue or there is some way to de-escalate.
