Content warning: the anti-TERF brigade

Recently a well-known "influencer" in the vegan movement posted this on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvkWMCXqNyK/?img_index=1

Here are some of the comments on the Instagram post...

"The biological sex people take up so much space. It's such a waste of time in the scheme of liberation for all. WHY DO THEY EVEN CARE?! It's a suspicious endeavor."

"Gary, tell me you feel irrelevant without telling me you feel irrelevant"

"reading what he's posting on Twitter the last 12 hours and I don't think any of this is "unwitting." he's gone full TERF."

"Don't think he should be labelled the 'father of abolitionist veganism'. His work draws heavily on Tom Regan's. If anyone, I would consider the latter the main founder. And thanks for the post. 😘"

"Why would he even bother? He could just stay quiet."

"What raises huge red flags to me is that those who believe sex and gender are binary get so pressed about defending their belief. Like, if that was the case (which it clearly isn’t), why would you care so much? Wouldn’t you just shrug and think it was silly? Why so mad?"

"Oh, that miserable piece of shit. Just more reasons to find him utterly disgusting. I hate that people who worship him are going to start to regurgitate this hate speech tho."

"Gross, I thought he went away...do people still pay attention to that drivel? From what I can tell hes been blacklisted from most major animal rights spaces, thank fuck"

"I wouldn’t consider hime the “father” of “abolitionist veganism”. A father wouldn’t be blatantly arrogant like this 🧐. I get into it with his followers and call him out a lot of the time because of arrogant things they say. People like this def gotta be held accountable"

"He’s said some weird stuff before but yeah he completely lost me with this one. Hearing someone I assumed was pretty wise just go full JK was beyond gross and disappointing."

I am so disappointed that members of my vegan community have been so badly brainwashed that they feel like it's okay to leave these sorts of comments.
