To all: Some of it is certainly mainstream.

How is the issue of retroactive birth certificate change not mainstream? It has been enacted (whether by legislature, bureaucracy, or court order) in dozens of states: https://transgenderlawcenter.org/resources/id/state-by-state-overview-changing-gender-m...

The sociology items (racism, sexism) are straight out of the "Prejudice + Power" idea ( https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Prejudice_plus_power ), which, while controversial and not uniform, does occupy quite a large mindshare among the Left. (This is, of course, to varying degrees -- "when Gringos speak Spanish it disenfranchises Hispanics from their identity" is much more radical to the point of being non-mainstream than "African Americans, by definition, aren't racist", which is somewhere on the fringe, and in turn more radical than the near-universally-applied "when a woman cannot consent, sex with her is sexual assault/rape, even if the male partner himself cannot consent")

And then, of course, the "Voting R is *-ist", which is a core principle of the "Resist!" movement, and I suspect I wouldn't have too dig too far on this very board to find.
