Like, transphobes literally think I'm a degenerate who shouldn't exist and isn't a real woman. Idk, it just kinda irks me to feel like a struggle over assuring that the community is respecting/accepting of me as a person and woman, somehow deserves to be on the same level of what someone eats.

Like, I'm all for veganism, and I hope when I'm in a more stable place I can transition to that. I'm all for stopping animal cruelty and exploitation, on a moral basis and environmental one. But like, it just feels weird to have my immediate experience of fighting for my right to be safe and treated as the gender I am, and the constant bigotry/violence that is enacted against other trans people like me reduced to "just another struggle" alongside something that feels less pressing, like the ethics of killing animals. Idk, maybe I'm just brainwashed by our culture of animal exploitation, but I just felt like I needed to express this uneasiness, because, to me, I feel kinda bad having the fight for my rights and my trans comrades rights being reduced like this.
