Men who want to be called women are perpetuating the idea that women should be a certain way.

If you actually knew any trans people you might realize that they are often the most gender-nonconforming people. But instead you’ve imagined this image of the misogynistic stereotype-driven trans woman rather than bother to observe material reality.

it’s so common, there’s a reason comedians joke about eating them and farting

The average American eats a dearth of fibrous vegetables.

The article you quote literally says what I said, so I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Your quote even points out that beans are not the only fibrous vegetable that causes gas when you don’t regularly eat enough fiber (brocolli is another non-legume example). If you kept reading, you would see:

Fiber is particularly difficult to digest compared to some other foods. If you suddenly start eating 1 cup of beans per day, that’s a big increase, and it may take some time for your body to get used to your new fiber intake. But as you continue to consume legumes regularly, your gas levels will eventually return to normal.

Btw it’s beans AND legumes in general that do this

Yes, beans are legumes, that’s why we’ve been using the word legume this whole thread

Sure, but your explanation being completely incorrect damages your credibility

The amino acids in plants come from proteins, too

it’s nasty af and makes most people’s stomachs bloated and inflammed

You never eat vegetables, do you? Much of the world lives off legumes. Having these issues with their digestion is caused by a poor gut microbiome from eating an extremely low-fiber diet.

It’s not tongue in cheek. You described veganism as a dietary preference, but it is an ethical belief and practice. Keeping silent in the face of unethical behavior is normally seen as cowardly or, at the least, not a general positive. If you came upon a person kicking a child, you would likely want to intervene, not merely think to yourself that you wouldn’t do the same.

Here’s a short medium post that sums it up decently, quoted for your convenience:

Look through the comments of the latest Facebook post that has aroused the ire of non-vegans and you’re bound to see the following:

‘I don’t care if you’re vegan, just respect my choice not to be vegan.’

‘How come a vegan gets mad if you serve them meat but won’t serve you meat.’

Stop telling other people how to eat!

These reactions to the promotion of veganism and vegan food products would make complete sense if veganism were a dietary preference, akin to trying not to consume sugar or not liking pickles. But veganism is an ethical stance against the commodity status of animals. Following a vegan diet results when you follow this philosophy.

When you understand the vegan philosophy, the idea of respecting someone’s choice to needlessly consume animal products no longer makes sense. Advocating that people stop using animals to the greatest extent possible is the ethical thing to do, and condoning animal use immoral. Serving non-vegan food to a vegan is rude but serving vegan food to a non-vegan is acceptable because, while a vegan has a moral conviction against eating animals, a non-vegan doesn’t believe that eating a meal without animal products is unethical. They’ve likely eaten Oreos or peanut butter on toast many times.
