Because a fully vegan/vego diet is not trivially accessible for me. I rarely prepare meals at home, and eat out/order in a lot, and the effort of moving to a fully vegan/vego diet would be non trivial.
A vegetarian diet is something I would quite happily adopt if it was more readily available, but it's not trivial, and it's not a high enough priority issue for me to be able to sustain a non trivial solution over the long term
What do you think about people who sideline trans justice issues because it would cost them social standing or friends etc?
I don't expect active support from everyone, but if there is a chance to support trans issues at no cost to yourself, I would expect people to make that choice.
What about some cost though? Like if someone's friend is actively being transphobic you'd probably expect them to step in right?
I don't expect people to lose friendships over an issue that is distant from their experiences, no.
I'd welcome push back, but we can't all prioritise every issue, and I don't expect people to. As long as they're not adding to the transphobia or encouraging it, they're on the correct side of things.
Well fair enough, if you think people should prioritise their own comfort over justice then at least you're consistent. It is beyond my ability to convince you otherwise.
