This 'trans puppygirl' thing has actually turned into quite an interesting discussion, and I wish I could have contributed sooner, because there's a few things that stand out to me.
The most obvious and repeated thing to note is the manchild-esque, Peter Pan Syndrome objection to growing up and taking responsibility, which is really interesting to me to consider, because of the opinion shown here that to be a dog is live a free, easy and low-effort existence, when if you think about it for more than like ten seconds, isn't based on reality.
Dogs, as we know them, didn't magically appear on the planet one day to be funny little bundles of fluff designed entertain us. In a lot of cases, they were bred, specifically, to do work, by humans. There are
still working dogs today.
To quote Scottish Twitter:
These puppygirl troons just want to play and sleep and be cuddled - some might say 'coddled' - but they don't want to fetch (go to work and earn money), or go walkies (exercise), or sit and stay (quietly introspect about why they are the way they are).
@Athena Save Us! has found a few little nuggets on her Reddit ramble that I thought were amusing.
First of all:
Being trans today is incredibly stressful, from the political aspects, social pushback, difficulty to accessing medicine.
OK, but when
wasn't it for you? Like, let's steelman that common tranny argument that this whole thing is totally organic, that there have always been trans people, that this isn't in fact, just a weird fad that's being pushed by groups with vested interests. Some might say that today, with all the advancements that have been made - socially, scientifically, medically - that it's actually a really good time to be a trans person, all things considered. I don't think medieval peasants had HRT and life-saving medical care. Back in their day, they had to drink horsepiss from the source if they wanted their oestrogen, and if they were caught engaging in some vital, gender-affirming transvesticism, it'd be burning at the stake for them... I imagine.
So, with that in mind, why is the trans puppygirl thing seemingly such a recent, emerging phenomenon, if trans people have indeed always existed and those trans people would conceivably have lived in harder, more stressful times and environments than the modern day first world?
others might find escapism in Video Games or Reading
Maybe this is judgemental and cheap of me, but I do enjoy that they apparently thought of video games before reading.
It's a kink, not specifically related to trans people but it is a kink space you're likely to encounter a lot of trans people in
I think this is the correct, most honest answer. Trans women are more likely to be perverts, and take an interest in perverted shit. This whole thing is just yet another example of trannies parading their fetishes in public and expecting to be praised for it by people who did not consent to being a part of it.
I think for a lot of puppies it's a trauma response, a way to feel less human whilst still feeling loved, it's quite sweet when practiced with good intentions.
This bit can fuck right off, though. As someone with trauma, it boils my blood when these disingenuous kinkster fucks use this bullshit excuse to justify or excuse their frequently weird, and more often than not disturbing and disgusting fetishes.
For the record, though, I still think all of this shit is just a convoluted, thinly veiled way of admitting to the world at large that they just want to fuck dogs.
