So now theres backlash in the gay community against mtf trans who prefer women? Lol

There have always been opposing factions in the LGBTQIA+ community. Trans exclusionary radical feminists, or TERFs, hate trans people. There are gay men who are misogynistic and abusive towards women, and vice versa for gay women. Gay men and women have shat on bi people for "lying about their orientation", or liking both genders "hurting" gay people by making sexuality look flippant, etc. - and that focus recently flipped towards asexual people, with people claiming that they're "hetero invaders". There are people who shorten the acronym or use alternate spellings, dropping bi or trans people. There are people who identify as queer and advocate for its use as a general-purpose term and as a reclaimed slur, and there are people who only see the word "queer" as a slur and claim that anyone in the community who uses it is self-hating, not actually LBGTQIA+ and bringing the word up to hurt others.

There's tons of shit in the community, and to my understanding there has been for a long-ass time. Lots of shitty people co-opting the community and redefining it for themselves and their ilk, and excluding other non-straight orientations and identities for being "icky". The important thing is to rise above that and advocate for unity and fair treatment, but this shit does persist in certain subgroups and it has for a good while.
