Weither it's vegans who use every scare/guilt tactic they can to convert you

The only truly wrong lifestyle choice is to try and oppress or threaten the lives of others.

I agree with you that a "wrong" lifestyle choice is to try and oppress or threaten the lives of others, since as a vegan I oppose threatening (and taking) the lives of others.
I also agree that people shouldn't be expected to follow biological possibilities as if they were rules. Whether or not some behavior is "natural" does not determine for me whether that behavior is a "good" one that I want people to do; instead, I look at the actual behavior and consider it on its own merits.
For example, having leg hair hurts no one, so a society that demonizes women who have/keep their body hair is a society that I want to change. Similarly, loving and being in a romantic relationship with someone who is of the same sex hurts no one, so a society that demonizes homosexuality is one that I want to change.
Supporting women who have leg hair and supporting people who are homosexual are linked in that both causes try to make it okay for people to be who they are naturally when that naturalness does not hurt others.
