The puppygirl article really hurts.
I’m currently caring for a disabled puppygirl who can’t support herself. I met her in a discord server talking about her disabilities and trauma, and that she didn’t have estrogen. So I bought her estrogen, you know my deal with that I think, she’s one of many. I hear about how she’s struggling to afford food, hygienic products, her bed doesn’t even have sheets, etc. I support her. I buy her groceries, as much of everything she needs as I can. I’ve only met her once in person, I can’t travel very often or far. But I was able to due to situations lining up, in which I gave her comfort she hasn’t had in months, after her cat had died days before. She cried and fell asleep in my lap as I pet her and consoled her. She hasn’t done hardly anything for me. Certainly no domestic labor like the article describes as the insufficient contributions of the puppygirl. I don’t live with her. Nonetheless, I love my puppygirl. She is a spark of joy in my life.
And I see the article. The way it talks about the puppygirl. Denigrating her, denying her womanhood, calling the imbalance of labor and ability itself, as abusive. And it makes me so sad. Because my puppygirl has been hurt for not being useful enough in ways i certainly cannot share here. And I wish more people would have loved my puppygirl. I wish they would love all puppygirls.
te amo, we have the same heart
