Why I purchased High-Protein Vegan Cookbook: 125+ Hearty plant-based Recipes? https://www.instagram.com/p/DSb6zr3jhl_/?img_index=1 This would be like how my Mentor Tracy Gerdhardt? A Drill seargent does Vegan Food. I have seen her put protein powder in Cookies. I want it! Also, ThatVeganTeacher.ca was always about the food. Somehow, I fell into a personality cult. I just wanted to be nice to an older lady, honestly. I am not like a person who feels good being seen as the mean Non-binary guy who is mean to old people. However sometimes people are dicks to seniors for a good reason.
That Vegan Teacher was a virus that infected this whole website and my own personality. I started experimenting with disruptive protest, I started trying to explain why what she was doing was positive to some degree, and I was even about to manufacture arguments that she may be more entertaining than we give her credit for.
This all changed when, a few days ago, she decided to go on a Transphobic rant. I can’t platform this. I want nothing to do with it. I can’t be having on/off romantic sexual relationships with Transgender people. Then go and proceed to endorse messages of hate. I am not Charlie Kirk, and I don’t want to be. Yes, I am alleging Charlie’s Transgender fetishization.
I am going to treat this virus like a sickness. It did affect aspects of this website where I was becoming more needlessly confrontational to try to understand her way of attacking issues. I do not think this was the right approach now. I have the next 2 days off work. Where, at most, I will eat soup, stay in bed, and post on socials passively for mild entertainment. I am going to treat this lapse of judgment like something where I should give my brain a break. Take some time to recover and enjoy life again. Yes, still eating the odd Vegan dish.
I thought her style was making her popular, and it was easily duplicated. I did not anticipate. Bots, co-opting Sexual assault stories to her agenda & stalking harassment. However, I should have looked closer.
I am sorry to my friend Jeff Cross. They showed me that Vegan teacher. My love for anything annoying? Started to mutate my brain, and next thing you know? I was on my way to being fully brainwashed into Disruptive Activism.
What am I going to focus on instead?
I want to get people like me help. That way, we have fewer of these embarrassing slip-ups. I have autism and ADHD. Sometimes I think an impulse will have huge upsides. Only to realize it’s a manic delusion. It’s the kind of thing… It’s funny until … It’s not…..
I think Ontario can do better with the mental Health of Adults with Autism. That is a big reason I am endorsing Marit and the Ontario NDP.
