What does another "Stonewall Era" entail? (self.trans)

I read something somewhere that said that we're likely to enter another stonewall era. What exactly does this mean? I'm aware of the events at the Stonewall inn but don't understand the era part of it.

I see. I was guessing it meant that there would be a lot more active confrontation and resistance with the feds. That's disheartening.

It's so strange to be a young person who just became an adult to grow into this. I'm going to fight as best I can for a better tomorrow. We absolutely have to be as united as possible as a community in order to weather and fight this.

might be worth reading Susan Stryker's Transgender History

I also found Stone Butch Blues provided some useful historical context.
