The constant harassment and abuse from speciesist reactionaries is what drove us off. But mentioning that part would ruin the narrative that vegans are the bad guys

Firstly:
Thank you for with no knowledge of who I am, instantly assuming my stance on animal liberation so you can paint the least charitable view of me possible, really appreciate it.
You capped your little screed off a accusing me of being a bigot and unaware of stats, 172 vegans were the victims of hatecrimes in the UK between 2015 and 2020 in one year of that timeframe ~14500 queerphobic hate crimes were recorded. In that same time frame, multiple attempts were made to undo the gender recognition act, back benchers of the UK’s leading party called for a return of section 28, all forms of the pride flag were added to the prevent scheme’s list of “extremist symbols”, and gender services in England and Scotland canceled gender affirming care to transmascs in their care without notifying them. In that same timeframe, some vegan groups were added to prevents watchlist.
Queer people are under siege by the hegemony and it’s only getting worse but don’t you dare ever say that we’re having a worse time than your average vegan. No, because then you’re a bigot.
I’ve lost friends, seen cops cheer on as fascists assault my comrades, I can’t just go about my life without near daily harassment from shit heads and I live in a part of the UK that’s relatively queer friendly. But what do I know about oppression some stranger on the internet has decided I’m a carnist?
Stop abusing animals
