Am I wrong in thinking that when reality finally sets back in with this Trans ideology, I think the people who supported it should feel bad about themselves for it?

I too often think about how all this is going to pan out. Graham Linehan often talks about the die-hards, the Owen Jones types, who are fully invested and will never reject gender ideology.

The thing is, this ideology has been so successful precisely because so few understand what's going on. Once they do, they'll just nope out. They can plausibly state that they were misled into thinking they were doing the right thing.

We're unlikely to see a mass reckoning, but I'll settle for the mass hysteria ending.

I used to think that. But after multiple conversations with friends and family, I realized that nearly everyone I know has already majorly bought into gender ideology. They are not the extremists; they are just followers who want to be nice and progressive and therefore will not question trans ideology in the slightest. They have internalized it enough that it has become a question of personal identity. They are proud to be supporting the trans cause and think people who don't are bigoted.

Illuminating observation.
