Do you ever wonder if you're on the wrong side of history?

No, not the way you put it. I am curious which side will win and I want the world to become saner place where saying something true/being monosexual doesn't lead to accusations of transphobia. But humans in the future looking back unfavorable on a position doesn't say anything about the morality of the position itself as what is morally right isn't defined by what future human will approve of. To put an example, if I knew future generations would be in favor of imprisoning everyone with wrinkles I wouldn't take that as moral guide, I would see that as future humans being morally wrong, and I couldn't care less about if they look back on us with disdain for not doing the same. In other words, if future people see me being on the wrong side of history I wouldn't see their opinions as being worth much as I would see them as being as on the wrong side of what is right.
