Yes, if the running government is seen to be anti-trans, it makes sense that trans supporters will show more support.

Likewise for every topic that is under contest, including right wing topics.

As an aside, I'd say calling it "the Streisand effect" could be seen to be hinting that if people just stopped support trans so strongly, there would be less backlash. That might be true, but given trans people have historically suffered abuse, it would be risky for trans supporters to let things settle and hope for the best.
