Hopefully by 2031, most people will be embarrassed about this debate, or may be upset with everyone who played/plays a role in this gender/identity debate. Once the novelty wears off and it isn't seen as cool to be trans anymore, everyone will pack up and store their gender memorabilia between the Beanie Babies and Furbies in the attic, and of course add it to their scrapbooks.

I think most people are already starting to tilt back to gender critical beliefs like they were before, and that will just continue. QT may be able to adjust and evolve with ease, and hopefully it evolves to incorporate GC beliefs. If everyone starts peaking, then I think QT will have no choice but to incorporate at least some GC beliefs and call them part of QT all along. I sort of wonder if that's the most realistic compromise to be made... it has to not be called a compromise, and it can't look like a compromise, so everyone saves face. QT will need to do more damage control since there aren't ways to prove most of those beliefs, so the science and biologic reality of GC will help support that. And GC has the facts and evidence, but not the clout or pizazz of QT, so it will have to be able to somehow make itself look like QT. QT really seems to emphasize just how unique and special each person is, and extrapolating from that GC will say more blanket policies on gender should be done away with because each one of us is unique and special and things like prisons and sports will evaluate people on a case-by-case basis. Maybe.

Sports: I kind of wonder if there will start being trans leagues in sports by then, or starting to have them, and it will just be such a faux pas for a male to compete with and against females in female-only sports. This seems to be happening right now, at least it seems to me. Maybe not, I probably don't read enough news. On top of the shaming, I think males might still be playing in female-only sports, but they'll be more determined case-by-case without the broad policies.

Prisons: I sort of wonder if prisons will do away with broad policies and determine prisoner placement on a case-by-case basis. Males might still be in female prisons, but much less of them, and maybe they'll be in their own wing or something if that isn't done already.

Locker Rooms: I'm not really sure about this. Maybe people (particularly males) will have to jump through a lot of hoops to be granted some sort of pass to access a locker room for the opposite sex. Like it would have to take some kind of waiting period or something maybe kind of like how access to transition-related services and procedures used to be much more difficult.

Child Transition: I think as more people are becoming aware of exactly what child transition entails and its ramifications, there is slowly becoming more scrutiny over this. There will be more protests outside of gender clinics or anywhere that will transition kids. The public criticism and the fallout of all of these kids who transitioned during this period and have grown up will limit access to medical treatment, if not completely ban it (at least for a period of time). Again, I think this will be done on more of a case-by-case basis with more scrutiny of the individual and how they experience their gender-sex issues.

But of course I really don't know at all. I haven't watched this all unfold over an extended period of time, so I am probably wayyyy way off. But it seems like the general public's romanticized image of trans people and transitioning is faltering, and people will come to understand that this isn't just one thing, there isn't just one type of trans person. I hope more research has been conducted by that time, there seems to be a growing interest in it even from when I first posted in this sub asking about it--it's really encouraging, honestly.
