EDIT: since by “meat shill” that is referring to the types of people unironically touting a meat-only diet with zero vegetables as the healthiest thing in the world despite all the evidence to the country

Also to correct misinformation in the comments, estrogen and testosterone themselves are vegan. Most HRT injections on the market are fully vegan as well

    Pretty hostile and toxic thing to lump those that don’t subscribe to veganism in with transphobes especially when I’ve seen vegans online be transphobic when it comes to hormone replacement therapy for transgender people saying they shouldn’t have it because it’s derived from animal products as vegans claim

    Hormone replacement therapy is life saving for many transgender people and can save them from depression or worse

    And to attack people by calling them “meat shills” just because they don’t want to choose veganism is very “us vs them” attitude

      Estrogen itself is vegan, same for testosterone. Pretty much all HRT injections on the market are entirely vegan

      There are plenty of vegans on estrogen and testosterone

      Please kindly stop spouting misinformation

        They never said that there aren’t trans vegans, they said that they have witnessed a subset of vegans spouting transphobia online with claims from those same vegans that hormone therapies weren’t vegan. They did not make a claim one way or the other about it themself.
