A Shift in Perspective: How My Political Views Changed

How have your political views changed over time?

By Tracy Schruder

As a writer and advocate for women’s rights, I’ve always been passionate about equality and fairness. But it wasn’t until I saw the impact of men entering women’s spaces that my views really shifted. The disregard for boundaries and safety was a wake-up call.

I used to be more open to progressive ideas, but the speed and lack of consideration for women’s concerns caught me off guard.

It’s not about being anti-anything, it’s about protecting the vulnerable and respecting boundaries.

My views changed when I realized that some policies, though well-intentioned, weren’t considering the real-world impact on women. I’m not opposed to dialogue, but safety and respect should come first.

Now, I’m more vocal about women’s spaces and rights. It’s about finding balance and prioritizing those who’ve been marginalized for too long.
