Alright Grap, there’s a lot to unpack here. As usual, you’ve said plenty without really saying much at all, but here we go.

And here’s the thing, they’ll outlive you.
By the time they do, they will be on the right path again of reality.
That's your prediction.

This is precisely why Trump and his allies are so intent on reshaping the education system: to re-stigmatise trans people, from adults to children. That’s the real goal, to plant the seeds of prejudice early and try to reverse progress by shaping young minds.
Paranoid much, conspiracy all around you. 'progress' - you have got to be kidding.
It’s not paranoia, it’s literally part of Trump’s platform. He pledged to eliminate what he calls “transgender insanity” from educational settings by cutting federal funding for schools that teach such content.
He also vowed to reverse Biden’s Title IX protections, which allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms matching their gender identity, stating that rescinding these protections would be a day-one priority.
Further, Trump proposed severe penalties for educators who suggest to students that they might be “trapped in the wrong body,” making it clear his intent is to suppress discussions of gender identity in classrooms.
These policies are part of a larger campaign to strip what he describes as “wokeness” and “left-wing indoctrination” from American education, specifically targeting school policies on gender and race.

It’s hard to say. Outside of your echo chambers, most people remain indifferent. They aren’t obsessively for or against, they simply don’t see trans rights as the existential issue you claim it to be.
Nobody here would be discussing 'trans rights' – whatever you think that means – if you lot hadn't brought it here.
This thread was started by Light. He's, laughably, one of yours.

There’s a counterbalance, of course: the woke crowd, who care enough to advocate loudly and visibly. The two groups largely cancel each other out in the broader cultural landscape.
The woke crowd care as long as they get what they think they want -the don't really care and in most cases don't even know what they are talking about. The counter balance is the opposite way - your lot started this madness, and now you are trying to paint those who say NO as the aggressors.
You’ve been so quick to play the victim and cry mischaracterisation that you’ve completely missed the point.
In my view, people like you, obsessively negative about this issue, are balanced out by those on the other extreme: the “woke” crowd who advocate just as loudly.
Both sides take it too far, and I condemn the extremists on both ends.

What remains to be seen is how this battle unfolds. I can only hope the harm inflicted on real people is kept to a minimum.
This 'battle' is unfolding as you remain stuck in the mud. Yes – those poor drugged up and chopped up kids with all those future problems and a massive suicide rate. It's not their choices though – it's the lack of acceptance, right?
You do realise that research consistently shows access to gender-affirming care reduces rates of self-harm and suicide among transgender individuals, right? And surely you’re aware that the prejudice and vitriol you peddle are among the primary drivers of those terrible outcomes.
It’s more than a little ironic to pretend you care about self-harm and suicide while actively contributing to the harm that causes them.
Given your previous genocidal tendencies, one might assume you’d be celebrating the tragic outcomes that your rhetoric and attitudes help fuel.
