The gaslighting is incredible. Lesbians and gays fought for their rights for decades and now they are being told "no, you were useless and did nothing, it was all the trannies."
You can go back and search for images of old Pride marches and you'll see that the signs clearly identify the marchers as "lesbians and gays" with no "LGBT" in sight. You'll see occasional drag queens and men dressed up for the day, and I'm sure some transsexuals participated, but there was zero organizational teaming with "trans."

This banner is wide-ranging and inclusive enough to include racism and sexism, but no mention of trans:

History article about how Stonewall was only remembered as an important historical event because gay activism had become established and organize enough to commemorate it nationally afterwards (the fact that it occurred literally next door to the headquarters of the Village Voice, and therefore got an unusual amount of media coverage, also helped). There were rebellions and even riots before Stonewall: Stonewall was a turning point because of all the activist organizing and commemoration that happened afterwards,
not because of the riot itself.
Some accounts of
organizing before Stonewall:
Before Stonewall, there were by conservative estimates at least 60 homophile or gay rights groups operating. According to NACHO, in 1970 there were 143 "homosexual or gay groups" operating in the United States and Canada.
The
Daughters of Bilitis (pronounced Bill-E-tis) were the first lesbian rights group in the United States, founded in San Francisco in 1955. The DOB began publishing The Ladder in 1956 becoming the first nationally distributed lesbian periodical in the United States. ... They began as a private social club, an alternative to the frequently raided bar scene, but quickly grew into a national lesbian rights organization, with local chapters all over the country.
The Daughters of Bilitis faced enormous odds, and they were subject to not just the surveillance of local police, but also the CIA and FBI.
But none of these people's efforts and struggles mean a thing, apparently. LGB people achieved
nothing; it was all girldick.
