(1) I don't ponder over such odd hypotheticals.
....AAAaannnddd...Steel wins....
He was right, 10 years ago, you could not envision the civil rights uproar happening today over where men and women pee'd. You couldn't forsee 20 years ago that the Federal Government would violate the constitution, usurp states rights, and declare gay marriage legal. The battle has been raging for more than 50 years and it is never ending. He made the point, you can't refute it.
And there will be a "what's next?" chapter to this. He's asked you to name it, you can't. You can't refute that it won't come, so you sling around the word "hysteria" over and over (forgetting your party's never ending hysteria on a plethora of moronic issues).
The best part is none of it is hypothetical. There will be another battle following this one. It's as sure as the sun rising tomorrow. These battles are already forming, and it's around gender and pronouns. That's my bet.
But they are hypotheticals to you because you either
a) want to ignore 50 years of battles because it doesn't fit your position. So it's easier to ignore Dirty Dr. Money mutilating and sexually abusing young men, to ignore men wearing wigs and beating up girls in Target dressing rooms, and pretend these battles haven't been waged (
no man ever landed on the moon, you're crazy!)
or
b) you simply can't admit that Steel and the rest of sane America is right...this is just another step down the proverbial slippery slope and all that's left is to figure out what the next chapter is about.
So you go on with your fingers in your ears singing "lalalalalalala" and inappropriately throwing out words that don't apply and watch as the trains continue to wreck.
The sad part of all of this is watching people like you believe you're witnessing progress. I don't view those boys who killed themselves under Dr. Money's care as a case of progress. I don't view the fact that you can potentially be fined $250K in NYC for using the wrong pronoun as progress. I don't view opening doors to female restrooms and locker rooms and little girls restrooms and showers to a man (not just a transgender - any man) as progress.
Sadly, you do. Welcome to "The Upside Down" (yes, a Stranger Things reference)
