“I grew up in Virginia in the United States, and I faced a lot of racism in school and bullying when I grew up. And that experience put me on the path of recognizing what's wrong with other isms, not just racism, you know, sexism... Unfortunately, all women have experienced some form of sexism in their lives at some point. Also speciesism. All of these types of isms have the common theme of othering somebody else, othering somebody who's not like you. And a lot of the justifications that we use, historically, for racism or sexism or even speciesism are the same. For instance, that these beliefs or these notions that they're not as smart as us, or they don't feel as much, or this kind of thing. And we increasingly, thankfully, recognize that that's a flawed reasoning when it comes to racism and sexism. And it's also flawed when it comes to speciesism.”
