   @thatkatharine For five years I've been saying that us vegans have found it somewhat easier to cope with all the denialism, hostility, and cognitive dissonance because we'd already been subjected to it for so long.

     You can switch out vegan with Covid-cautious or literally anything from childfree by choice to cycling to neurodivergence to gender expression to chronic illness to disability and it’s always the same damn conformist defensiveness that we have to suffer. But instead of putting the onus on conformists to alter their social comparison behaviours, the rest of us are burdened with making every encounter a Very Special Episode of learning and tolerance of both sides.
