==Quotes== | |||
{{quote|It was through my vegan politics that I was able to understand myself as a [[queer]] [[nonbinary]] person and utilize my queerness as a tool to subvert and attempt to dismantle oppressive structures that marginalize people, animals, and the earth. | |||
As I began to recognize the entanglements of speciesism, a concept that humans are inherently superior to animals, with structures of (cis)heteropatriarchy, a system where men are endowed with authority and power over marginalized genders, I realized that social justice movements do not and cannot exist in silos. [...] Compulsory heterosexuality is inherently intertwined with speciesism and speciesism is inherently connected to cisheteropatriarchy. I realized that in order for us to accomplish liberation for [[women]] and LGBTQIA+ people, we must also fight for animal liberation.<ref name="anim_Zane" />}} | |||
