QUEER LIBERATION
LIBERATES ALL

Veganism stands in opposition to domination by those in power, all forms of discrimination and the normalization of oppression. With these injustices (alongside many more) found across all hierarchical social constructions, liberation at every level is the only way for liberation at any level.

And if you can’t enthusiastically get behind all meaning all, are you really fighting for total liberation?

“Why is a trans inclusive approach to vegan feminism important? Because it helps us build a movement for animals where all people feel safe. Because it fights against the traditional definitions of gender used to divide and conquer people.”

Lilia Trenkova, The Womyn’s Club: Vegan Feminism and Transphobia
