I've observed in my real life circles (and I still silently belong to some pretty woke circles) that even people who toe the line on doing the pronoun thing are by and large just doing it out of politeness and don't actually believe that these people are anything other than addle-brained. Applied to wider society, I think we've all been cowed into silence, rather than belief. The cracks are showing in the dam however, and once its more acceptable to say you don't believe this nonsense without fear of losing your job, I think we'll see a flood of people who go back to laughing at how fragile we all were for a spell.

Also, once we do laugh at it and it's very apparent that calling these people silly doesn't lead to sending them to the gas chambers, I think society in general will be able to collectively exhale and chuckle ongoingly at their expense once again.
