    For the most part, not only does vegansim have the biggest positive impact on the environment that can be made with a personal choice, the animal products industries are like the third biggest contributor to climate change after energy (coal, oil, gas, etc) and manufacturing. Plus, as most farm land in the world is used for animal feed, it would free up land for reforestation.

    P.s When talking about GHG emissions, it’s a really bad idea to use % of total emissions as an indicator of impact. Livestock produce plenty of methane, which is roughly 84 times more impactful than carbon dioxide on the short term (20ish years) but carbon dioxide is more impactful over the long term (centuries) as it does not break down as quickly.



  • Yeah that is just plain old transphobic. A trans woman is not a “boy who wants to be a girl” it is a girl who wants to be accepted as a girl by herself and others.

    You don’t control what body or brain you were born with. For most people the brain’s gender matches the body’s sex, but for some it does not.

    You are you, if you know that you are a girl or a boy or neither or both, then no one can say otherwise. Others can either respect you or not, but it means absolutely nothing about you.
