Should? yes. Will? No. There are so many rationalizations with the "firewall" at the end of it all being "I was just trying to be nice". We will be the big meanies in this now and forever even if they admit gc is right. They'll say "you weren't really right because you didn't have this new evidence that finally pushed reality through our thick skulls, you were just mean. We're enlightened and woke and keeping up with science. You're just mean."

Ew the sad thing about what you said is that it's probably true that THIS is the mindset that they're gonna have when the trans bubble pops.

It's not unique to them, and I think it goes beyond just these kinds of "group-think", or the way the masses are duped by sloganeering and social engineering.

Few people ever say 'Wow, you were right and I was wrong.' They might see it as they learned something new, or their views "evolved", or they might see it as very nature of the matter will have changed ('trans people used to be good when they were just trying to deal with dysphoria, but now there are too many pervs who have displaced the "good ones" and the whole thing is now unworkable' which I think is a variation on Ronald Reagan's "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me" when really he no longer needed a good union to represent him and was being paid to be anti-union, which in his day was the big division between the two parties in the US).

Trans issues are not the only major issue today where this sloganeering and group-think has manipulated the masses.
