Chatting with local trans pet play titleholders in Austin kink community
As Trans Day of Visibility approaches, I’ve been thinking about what being seen actually means. Within Austin, there are trans people in every type of queer-centric community, but they’re not often platformed the way their cisgender counterparts are. But in that TDOV spirit, trans members of Austin’s growing critter community have made strides into the spotlight – and they’re just getting started.
“The biggest effect for me in my community as a titleholder has been Visibility,” Stanlick explained about his journey over email. Through one-on-one conversations, teaching and attending kink-related classes, and other activities, he’s found “pawsitivity” in other trans folks and allies “working to make things more accessible to those who feel that they are not valued.”
As an experienced competitor, Zentler draws a comparison between leather culture and pup play – in particular, pointing to how initial aesthetic pageantry has taken a slight backseat to deeper, more community-focused qualifiers. Titleholder to titleholder, the responsibilities shift, but to Zentler, there’s one that lives above the rest. “I would argue that the single most important responsibility is to simply act in accordance with your values, whatever they may be,” he said.
“Being Texas handler,” Herndon said, “I don’t describe it as well, my partner is a pup and I’m his handler. For me, Texas handler is, like, I handle the entire community. I’m very Mother, you know, I’m Auntie. I give such loving feminine energies.”
