    Are there really enough transphobic vegans to constitute a society? It’s not just, like, the two of them? There’s zero overlap in ideology. It’s like a Spanophile hikers club.

    This is the second post today I’ve seen from you about transphobic vegans. Personally, I’ve met way more queer vegans/vegetarians than transphobic ones, so I kinda question how much of an issue this really is.

    For sure there’s a subsection of vegans, the more granola “everything must be natural” side, that can tend towards transphobia (ever heard of the woo-to-Q pipeline?) but I don’t think it’s nearly as common as your posts indicate.

    I’m trans and vegan and to me it just seems disproportionate to equate a vegan organization that has issues with misgendering to fascist political figures actively attacking our rights.

    I don’t give a damn about vegans. And in a society of excess fail to understand how veganism (?) has a meaningful interaction with LGBT+ community besides there being a number of people who are both. I don’t even consider it to be political but I’m sure groups like that have lobbyists for something.

    I definitely don’t see them as progressive and I wouldn’t look to a group of vegans to help defend my rights unless they were lgbtq+ specifically. Maybe that’s a perspective thing because I don’t care about what vegans are doing at all. To me, they’re just deciding their diet.

      It’s not a diet, it’s a philosophy. Vegans want to exclude animal products from everything they use.
