One example of a role where gender shifts occur is politics. Women and non-binary individuals who enter the political sphere often experience a shift in their status and how they are treated by others. They may be viewed as less competent or capable than their male counterparts, or face discrimination and bias based on their gender identity. However, as more women and non-binary individuals are elected to political positions, there is a growing recognition of their abilities and contributions, and a shift towards greater gender equality in the political realm. Despite this progress, there is still much work to be done to address the systemic barriers that prevent women and non-binary individuals from fully participating in politics and achieving equal status and treatment.
