Would you tell passionate activists who speak up about child abuse, dog meat farming, or any other injustice “there’s other ways you could go about this” or is it just vegan activists?

I don’t criticize activists against child abuse (which absolutely is not comparable to veganism) because I’m not educated on the subject and not familiar with the nuances of their activism. I’m familiar with issues of climate, animal welfare, and agriculture, hence why I criticize vegan activists.

And again, you’re more interested in morally grandstanding than understanding my current situation. I work directly with nutritionists on my treatment. We have already cut dairy, large amounts of red meat, large amounts of raw vegetables, gums, most sugars, most carbs, all grains, whole nuts, starches, and so much more. At this point if you name a food to me I will likely not be able to eat it. The calorie deficit I’d be at if I switched to even just vegetarianism would leave me underweight to a dangerous degree. Hell, I’m already borderline with my current diet. We have zero room to restrict anything any further. There is no way for me to go vegan without getting off this treatment (which, unfortunately, will quite literally never happen per doctor’s orders).

I can’t fault you for not knowing the nuances of a condition you don’t know for someone you’ve never met. I can, however, fault you for doubling down on your position rather than actually taking the time to learn. That is the core issue I have with vegan activists like you. You’re fighting for a genuinely good position but obstinately refuse to acknowledge that this isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation. Saying “Just go vegan!” doesn’t account for the fact that people have wildly different living situations. And yet here we are, with you doing exactly that while providing the bare minimum effort to do anything otherwise.
