Unisex Toilets in Swiss Schools — The Debate in Opfikon

In the past, while studying law and history, I often found myself supporting left-leaning movements, as I saw real social injustices that needed attention.

In recent years, however, I have noticed that in some contexts, certain ideas can become more extreme or less connected to practical realities. In my view, society functions best when there is balance and a focus on stability rather than rapid, large-scale experiments.

Public policy, ideally, should remain practical and grounded in everyday needs. For example, when infrastructure challenges — such as limited parking — are not addressed, but new concepts are introduced without clear integration into existing systems, this can create additional complexity rather than solutions.

In my perspective, change should be functional and based on real human needs, supported by economic and technological development. When policies prioritise appearance or ideology over practicality, they may risk missing the underlying problems they aim to solve.

At the same time, it is worth remembering that political systems were originally designed to organise society and make life more manageable. In that sense, efficiency, communication, and cooperation — including aspects of globalisation — can play a positive role.

Recently, I have found myself reassessing my own views. While I do not strongly identify with traditional political labels such as “left” or “right,” I notice that certain positions currently associated with more conservative approaches align more closely with my emphasis on stability, structure, and long-term sustainability.

For me, the focus is not on ideology, but on rationality, practicality, and economic sense. Ultimately, I believe that the most important question is not which “side” a policy belongs to, but whether it is the right decision for the present moment (but I reject Nazism).
