I've heard from multiple trans friends that they are afraid the Trump government will come for them and lock them up for being trans due to actions being taken in state legislatures right now [1] and that for these reasons they are or are considering going completely closeted for their own safety.
I don't think it counts as a "fad ending" when you have chilling effects [2] like this coming from the government.
