How does the transition from one diet to another impact one's sense of self? Veganism challenges the foundational character of how we "act out" our selves-not least of all in the context of sexuality and gender. In my paper, I am thus interested in the potential of veganism to disrupt the "natural" bond between gender formations and the consumption of animal products, as this relates to social and cultural genealogies. Consequently, I will explore a queer form of veganism that affirms the radical impact of what Sara Ahmed calls "shared deviation."
