The extremists pushing the trans ideology, by way of example, are alienating the vast majority of the country. The pushback has already started and I think it will only be a matter of time before a Federal law shuts down "gender affirming care" (mutilation) of minors. Not only that, but we're now seeing the first lawsuits by children who realize that they were chemically castrated by unscrupulous virtue signaling monsters, and when the huge damages verdicts start coming down the whole thing will get shut down.

The correction in academia will take longer because too many people without a proper education have gotten too many meaningless Ph.D.s from too many mediocre and terrible universities to reverse the damage quickly. However, there are signs that this is changing too, because the irrelevance and lack of anything approaching a rigorous foundation on the part of gender studies, etc., is causing real intellectuals to realize that the courses of study have become hopelessly watered down. This, combined with the way parents in low-income school districts are realizing that the flight from objective standards is hurting their children and creating a new form of slavery, will cause a slow correction.

Nothing lasts forever, and "trends" never continue in the same direction forever.

I also see that the younger generation is far more conservative and far more religious than the previous generations. While I can't say for certain what religion people will choose, it's clear that the main religious faiths aren't withering away; they're finding new life. It's also amusing to see how the Left is panicking over the fruits of its ersatz alliance with Muslims after 9/11. Those Muslims realized that they're a hell of a lot more conservative than the Left thought they were, and they are rightly infuriated that schools are trying to push a rabid trans agenda on their children.

I take heart every time I hear stories like the one from New Hampshire, where the school district tried to force high schoolers to wear rainbow pride clothing and take a strong stand in favor in particular of the trans ideology. The children for the most part wore red, white and blue and chanted, "My pronouns are USA".

It's about common sense over extremism, and I think that America is righting itself. If someone wants to legally change his name from William to Lia then ok, we can call him Lia. But that doesn't make "him" a "her" or give him a right to participate in women's swimming. If he wants to dress like a woman that's his right, but that doesn't mean it's ok for him to go into a women's bathroom or walk around naked in glitter in front of an elementary school (if he wants to go to the Pride Parade in Greenwich Village naked, though, it's the parents' fault if they bring their kids and don't want them seeing that). What's so difficult about that?
