Over the past few years, many extreme social beliefs have become mainstream on the political Left, such as the beliefs that an individual becomes a certain gender when he or she decides to identify as such and that children should be able to receive puberty-blocking pharmaceuticals to prepare them for sex-change surgery.

These beliefs are no longer at the fringe of liberal ideology. The House of Representatives wants to enshrine these ideas and all that they entail into law through the so-called Equality Act.
