There are policy and rhetoric changes that have occurred in mainstream left-wing parties that have increasingly ostracized such people.

I read the article, it's full of lies. Things like "militant environmentalism" and "militant trans ideology" are things that only exist on the fringes of society and are not the policies of the Democratic party.
Taking bold action on climate change (required given how long it has been neglected) is not the same thing as "militant environmentalism". Giving legal protections to LGBTQ people is not the same thing as "militant trans ideology".
Right-wing propaganda deliberately uses misnomers and sensationalized language to completely mischaracterize certain things. And it's destroying our society.
