The fight for marriage equality (won in the U.S. in 2015) did not explicitly protect trans people.

Clayton County Supreme Court decision in 2020. For years, mainstream LGBTQ organizations (like the Human Rights Campaign) prioritized marriage equality over the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a move that many trans activists saw as a betrayal.
