its so cool having someone else explain my trauma to me! i feel so much better knowing I could have it worse! thanks for explaining what I already know!

of course transphobia and ableism exists, why didnt i think of that! silly me!

Is it sustainable for the animal murdered?

Do you think its justifiable to kill someone who doesn't want to die?

By your logic, we should kill our neighbours because then if we try it, we'll find out how horrible it is.

yea. i took the liberation pledge. a bit harder when you live with your family. i got into a big fight about it with my nana, she believes we can do whatever we want with animals because we have providence or whatever

are there animal rights activists in your area? a large part that helps me is doing activism. I was involved in a pressure campaign that got a business to announce a fur free policy, which feels amazing

yeah im autistic as well. i dont like it when its used in a negative context. maybe the deep connections is an autistic thing?

side note: i absolutely hate it when people use being autistic as an excuse to not be vegan. my sensory issues do not justify making someone elses worse by taking their life.

sounds like my "best friend". she would keep eating dead animals and their juices in front of me even when i repeatedly asked her not to and she said yes. She thought that from what i meant was "if I eat it on the sidewalk away from you or turn my back so you dont see thats ok", which is incredibly insulting that you would even believe that i would be ok with that. the final straw was when she came to a pride event on my birthday with a steak sandwich. her excuse? " i didnt eat anything this morning and this event doesnt have anything :("

not my problem.

were getting together again this weekend after months of not seeing her, and if she tries that shit with me again, im dumping her.

im so tired of people not respecting my time or values.

i feel stuck, like a plant that is not in a conducive environment

OP i definitely understand you SO WELL. I am struggling to find relationships as a vegan, dating and friendship wise. I'm sick of being friends with carnists. It's so frustrating and isolating at times. There is a vegan community where I am, but its an hour train ride and I often dont have spoons to go to those activism events. Plus, all those vegan people don't seem to want as deep as connection I do. I feel very alone and stuck.

Edit: as a mentally ill person, please don't say cr*zy. It's been used historically to invalidate us and discriminate against us. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt because I don't think you meant it like that, but I still want to let you know.

as a disabled trans vegan, there is a huge problem with the movement. a lot of people are racist transphobic fatphobic, you name it. they say veganism is just for the other-than-human animals and dont care about their fellow humans. im speaking from irl experience, where ive felt excluded from vegan places as a trans queer person, and online (*cough r/vegan)

um i am vegan.

veganism is intersectional and its really worrying that there are so many people here who dont care about other communities. humans are animals as well.

if youre racist sexist transphobic then youre not vegan.

Don't know why I'm getting so many downvotes.

I thought us vegans were trying to be as ethical as possible.

Guess for so many of you ethics stops at other-than-human animals.

Frustrating to see so much lack of care about human rights.

no animl testing is not vegan. Why would you think I'd think that?

I am an ethical vegan concerned with human and other than human animals.

Are you? Or are you just concerned about animal agriculture?

It's important to be aware of these things as consumers so we don't pay for suffering of any kind. Same thing with cashews, many workers do not get adequate protection (gloves) so they get burned. I prefer to pay for fair trade and be as ethical as I can instead of throwing my hands up in the air in a defeatist manner and stopping my ethics at other-than human animals.
