Society proceeds in a ratchet-like manner to double down on whatever its core values over time, that's all. The core values in the west are egalitarianism. First there was war over slavery, then women's liberation, then racial integration, then open borders via 1965 immigration act, then amnesty, then homosexual rights, then homosexual marriage, then anyone banned from discrimination against homosexuals (Christian cake bakers), then transsexual rights, etc. You may like or hate any one or all of these changes, but the trend toward increased egalitarianism over time should be very apparent. There is no way to combat the egalitarian ratchet effect without either transvaluing those egalitarian values or having those values so weaken society that it is ultimately conquered by neighbors:

After transsexualism is fully normalized up next will be either pedophelia or beastiality.
You can absolutely make the case against egalitarianism. First off, we can dispense with the idea that all of us are exactly the same, that is ipso facto not true and from stupid to genius all can see it. The current arch toward egalitarianism can be destroyed by applying reductio ad absurdum and we're already there with "trans" and "fat acceptance". Or, demanding the Ivy League admit mentally disabled individuals. Though harvard hasn't stooped this low, yet, they're on track and have already lessened their once extreme discriminatory selection process to be more "inclusive". Because, as follows if we are all completely equal in all ways then surely we are equal to mongoloids. You can't have it any other way.
You miss the point about pedophilia. No doubt that is the current direction, but you must appreciate the extreme and obvious evil that pedophilia is. It cannot be normalized and, therefore, we'll discover a hard limit to not only equality but to things like ultra tolerance. We must be intolerant sometimes, therefore, there is very much a place for intolerance, and for that matter, bias, prejudice, and bigotry in society. Otherwise, you'll end up with a pedophilic society or something along those lines. That is evil.
I think the impact of affirmative action disproves the idea of compulsive equality. And look at the US Army all of a sudden deciding to backtrack on its egalitarian trend and back to appealing to the demographic best suited for martial arts - white men (like it or not).
Our defense and offense is reality. Theirs is fantasy. Who ultimately wins?
We also have a viable alternative and that is establishing equality under the law, which is, when you really think this over, the furtherest extent of the American tradition of egalitarianism. We are all our very own fingerprint and people. This makes for differences in all things from preferences to ability. It just is. Therefore, when forced rank on any characteristics or item, for that matter, there are discernable differences, for instance, intelligence isn't uniformly dispersed between all, and there is a measurable unequal dispersion - this more than any other item undeniably disproves equality.
So, the best we can do is equality under the law. Its practical and its congruent with reality. We have long since achieved this goal. But, rhetorically its where we need to dig in and defend.
As far as a reversal goes, pedophilia will induce a more than sufficient reaction, stopping the pendulum and sending it back in the opposite direction.
