Good traditions! I’m vegan, which does exclude you from a lot of traditions. Or more accurately, it makes you see the cruelty of some traditions, and reject them because of it.
Same with being anti capitalist and, as a consequence, anti consumerist. That last one alienates me from a bunch of nerd culture, too.
Oh man, we’re the same. Also vegan here and anti consumerist. I’m somehow lucky that my partner accepted to not exchange gifts for Christmas, and my family has adapted to include vegan dishes for Christmas. But coming from a meat eating culture, I’ve let go a lot of traditions behind. On top of that, I’m atheist from a religious country, and queer. Sometimes it can feel very alienating, but luckily I’ve found my own chosen family.
