That would help, but it's not plausible. What I really think is going to happen is that the bubble is going to burst and these policies are going to implode. I think we'll see change as the result of a backlash, not because the TRA movement agrees to common sense. I don't know if they will ever see reason or admit that they were even slightly wrong, especially after committing to their stance so hard.

Hmm. I really hope the lesson isn't that painful, but that seems very plausible and probable. You're almost certainly right about them collectively never, ever admitting they were wrong. They seem really so embroiled in their momentum and image that it would be as good as death to admit being wrong. That movement and ideology's overall energy really is distinctly narcissistic that way, protecting the ego above all and at all costs.
