Yes, that’s what I’ve been using for many years as well :)

Hm, I’ve been shaving wet for ever and have been on E for ~5 years. No cuts unless I’m really not paying attention. It is a skill you can learn :)

Still feels pretty cis-heteronormative and binary to me :(

Hm, I think there are different subgroups of vegans that lead to this ambiguity. Many queer and other marginalized people tend to emphasize with other emancipatory struggles and have an intersectional awareness. Being vegetarian/vegan comes naturally with this.

On the other hand, many vegans I’ve seen online or that explicitly identify with veganism itself, are heterosexual cis men that made it their identity to be vegan. Maybe a secondhand marginalization they choose in “behalf of the animals” as a way not to confront themselves with their own position of privilege.

I feel like any vegan organization will be full of the latter sort because it is about identifying strongly with veganism. That’s how Peta has made sooo many discriminatory advertisements and why vegan organizations often are shitty to marginalized people. If they had more of an intersectional point of view, this would certainly not happen!

I’m vegan and trans btw :)

They also made two shows (2 and 9 years ago) about trans rights where they were pro trans also. Since then I liked this show even more and feel like they have our back ❤️

Yes, that’s what I thought at some first, too. But then they came pretty frequently and I started using a menstruation tracking app. I’ve noticed these period pains 4 years into HRT. So it took quite some time for my body to develop this hormonal cycle.

Yeah, the hormonal cycle is real! I take the same amounts of estrogen all month around but still get my period of boob pains for some days every month.

This, plus being queer isn’t inherently making you or people accepting you necessarily less bigoted. For example, even queer TERFs side with Nazis. Of course it is more likely that if a movement is more accepting of one minority, it may be also accepting to others. But it may also use one minority group to pit against another…
