We’ve all had ideas in the past we no longer believe are true.
There’s nothing wrong with admitting it; it’s a sign of growth.
You realized you were wrong about something and changed course.
The left often thinks that being “progressive” means a never-ending, uncompromising campaign to do what they think is right, without any self-evaluation in the process.
But, as C.S Lewis once said:
We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.
It’s a part of growing as human beings.
And it’s important to give credit where it is due.
Recently, former Fox News host Megyn Kelly issued what appeared to be a heartfelt apology about her previous stance on gender dysphoria.

Now the question is, was this truly a change in thinking or a way to score points with the right?
Some are skeptical.
My bad, I don’t believe her “Heart was in the Right Place”nor have I forgotten what a good shill she was at Fox & worked with Wallace to hurt Trump in 2016 debates & later. A media grifting slut to put it kindly! If she apologized for her baseless attacks on Trump, I’d listen to…

I don’t listen to what she has to say. She speaks for whoever is paying her. She will change sides as soon as she gets a better offer.

Others choose to be optimistic, supporting Kelly’s reversal.

Respect to anyone who can sincerely admit that they are/were wrong and give an honest apology.

It’s great to hear someone come out and say I’m sorry I was wrong. Refreshing

Whether it’s a true change of heart or not, the message is on point.
So, kudos Megyn, if this is a genuine apology.
Trending Politics reported on Kelly’s turnaround:
Megyn Kelly became emotional on her show Thursday, sharing her regrets about past reporting on the issue of gender dysphoria and allowing children under 18 to pursue gender transition surgery or chemical therapies that some who transitioned are now publicly admitting they regret.
Speaking on the verge of tears, Kelly spoke passionately about her past positions which she says were misinformed and meant only to support young people struggling with their identity as male or female.
“I thought I was promoting anti-bullying. Now I have such regret about it.”
Is the about-face sincere, or is Kelly just a grifter willing to say anything to make a buck?
What do you think?
