The 2004 movie "The Day After Tomorrow" is a hokey, overwrought, ascientific film that was supposed to scare us all into caring about "climate change" but which understandably failed to do so. For all its faults, however, the movie does have an admirable sort of heart about it, particularly a scene in which Ian Holm's oceanographer calmly tells Dennis Quaid that the only thing he can do in the face of looming ecological catastrophe is to "save as many as you can."

There is a noble quality to that sort of tactical resignation, when the people in charge of a deteriorating situation recognize that the time for a comprehensive resolution has passed, and the only remaining prerogative is simply to save as many lives as possible. There's nothing wrong with admitting that, not when it's true.

That is, of course, where we are at in the LGBT wars. There have been a great many strong efforts from the Right to roll back this ideological movement over the past few years, but we must admit that we have largely failed, particularly as it applies to transgenderism. Transgenderism is a fully established part of the culture now, receiving unequivocal support from most major corporations, civic institutions, media outlets, and nearly every level of government, including the federal government.

Most ominously, it has come for the children, and it has captured them so effectively that even Fox News is on board with children "transitioning" from one sex to another. When the nation's (nominally) preeminent conservative media outlet is in favor of what effectively amounts to left-wing sexualized child abuse, we have blown well past the point of no return.

This will end eventually. One day, probably not very far in the future, the movers of this zeitgeist will become too ashamed to continue pushing it, and we'll have something of a reckoning about this whole disgraceful charade. By that time, the ruined lives will be too numerous to count—the countless boys and girls who cut off their genitals and breasts, who sterilized themselves with synthetic hormones, who mutilated their bodies and ruined their minds in service to a sick joke that was foisted on them by sick adults.

We are past the point of stopping this; it will only end on its own. All we can do, then, is save as many as we can, by whatever means we might have at our disposal.

What that will look like for everyone will be different. For some it will mean lobbying to shut down the predatory "drag queen story hours" at local libraries; for others it will mean rallying against the apparently growing trend of subjecting very young children to highly sexual "drag show" performances:

Others may have to confront beloved friends and family who are taking their children down dangerous, exploitative paths; this will not be comfortable, though it will be necessary. Still others can work to excise predatory literature and lesson plans from local schools.

None of this will be easy. None of it will be fun. And still it will not be enough—still we will lose so many precious lives to this waste. Yet we cannot chose the times we are given.

We must simply work with what's in front of us and do our best in a terrible situation. Save as many as you can.
