The thing is, there are actual issues that "Dump Your Puppygirl" is attempting to address. Like weaponized helplessness, feminization of labor, and caregiver burnout are all very real things. But they intersect with dysphoria, disability, etc in such a way that if you're going to write about them all in the same essay, you have to do it with delicacy, precision, and compassion. And unfortunately, Tara Knight is too poor a writer, too imprecise a thinker, and too much of an asshole to successfully pull it off.
