The dominance of queer culture goes much farther than simply existing.
Criticize it in even the most mild way at most companies and expect to be fired from your job.
The dominance goes even further. Direct criticism isn't necessary. Try to promote straight culture and you'll also get dogpiled and fired. (Brandon Eich)

Brandon was promoting the dominant culture by suppressing others.

Promoting the dominant culture doesn't get you fired from your job. The dominant culture took him out.

Brendan Eich doesn't say he was fired. https://brendaneich.com/2014/04/the-next-mission/

All of these things you listed merely acknowledge that non-cis gendered people exist, that's it. There is no massive shift in the mainstream culture. In fact, there are legions of reactionaries incredibly aggrieved by having this existence "shoved in their faces" such that they will push for laws banning discussion of sexuality in schools, call bomb threats in to hospitals, or lose their shit when gay people kiss in a movie.
