There's actually a ton of gender stereotypes around different forms of petplay, such as pup play being for cis gay men or pony play being for straight guys or kittens and bunnies being feminine. It's gotten to the point were some puppy communities have lectures and podium discussions about making the scene more trans inclusive and more open to women and nonbinary people.

I find trans communities to be more open to kink in general, to be full of furries and to have meowing as a form of stimming or low-effort socializing, i've had wonderful t4t experiences as an owner both with the most precious kittens and the very, very best puppygirl anybody could wish for, but pet play definitely isn't an exclusively trans thing, as you can see at any pride parade where the puppy block isn't prohibited from participating either by "no kink at pride" reactionaries or by the cops (the latter having happened repeatedly at German pride parades over the last years, due to Germany's problematic and ambiguous laws against masking at protests). And yes, most of these puppies are gay cis dudes, simply because pup play is so firmly established in their community.

So what i'm saying is, solidarity with all politically persecuted doggos, even the innocent ones.
