    And the fact that you assume people “aren’t thinking critically” when they use a word in a way you don’t like says a lot about you. Makes you seem like the entitled one, actually.

    If you can’t accept that saying “I eat vegan” or “I follow a vegan diet” is just as valid as someone saying “I’m vegan” in the context of taking about food/diets, you’re gonna have a tough time, because that’s just how our language is used.

      I’m sure you can get away with telling trans people what they are without trans people or defining atheism without atheists. But sure. Sound off like the ignorant ass you are.

          They’re comparing your ignorance about veganism to ignorance about other groups of people. You argue with vegans about the definition of veganism, while vegans in general are in agreement about this definition. This is like ignoring trans people describing what it means to be trans, or atheists describing what it means to be athiest.
