THE ERA OF IDENTITY DISORDER

Today, we are witnessing an unprecedented social transformation where the boundaries of identity are constantly expanding. I can understand someone identifying with a different gender because, in terms of biological development, the process isn't always clear and can lead a person to be born in what they feel is "the wrong body." In this context, gender identification has been a broad debate, and although complex, it has biological and psychological explanations.





However, what becomes harder to understand, and where madness truly starts to unfold, is when people begin to identify as different species.

This goes far beyond gender fluidity; we are talking about humans who claim to be, for example, dogs or cats. This phenomenon, known as transspecies, is gaining followers, but its foundation is much more psychological than biological. How did we get to a point where a biologically complex human can feel like a "dog"?

The Puppy Play Phenomenon

A prime example of this disconnect from reality is the phenomenon known as Puppy Play, a subculture within the fetish world, where people, mostly men, dress up as dogs and adopt canine behaviors. What started as a form of erotic role-playing has evolved into something bordering on the absurd: massive conventions where dozens of people gather with dog masks, bark, howl, and run on all fours, faithfully imitating dogs.

It's hard not to see this as an extreme expression of the desire to escape from one's humanity. What drives someone to adopt a canine identity? For some, it is a way to relieve stress, escape social judgment, or break free from societal norms. But at what cost? Is this really healthy, or are we pushing the boundaries of self-identification into a dangerous place?

The Danger of Trivializing Identity
Allowing and promoting transspecies identification can be dangerous. First, it trivializes what it truly means to have an identity, as these people are choosing to identify as animals by desire, not by biological or psychological necessity. Second, by blindly accepting these practices, society is validating behaviors that, in many cases, border on dissociation from reality.

Human identity is complex and nuanced, but there is a fine line between freedom of expression and psychological dissociation. While gender fluidity may be based on deep biological and psychological issues, identifying as a different species is not only an exaggeration but seems to signal that we are losing our way as a society.

It’s not about judging those who participate in these movements but asking important questions about where we are heading as a society. To what extent is it valid to promote these forms of self-identification? Is it truly positive to accept any form of dissociation from human identity, or are we validating behaviors that could be dangerous for mental health?

Identity should be something understood and respected, but society must also be aware of the limits and consequences of pushing certain concepts beyond what is rational. What starts as a simple "game" or "liberation" could end up reflecting the chaos and confusion in which we live today.

THE GOOD DEED OF THE DAY

We tend to romanticize nature and animals, partly due to Disney, which has always shown us an idealized image of the wild. However, animals follow their own survival rules and won't hesitate to defend themselves if they feel threatened. Nature, though beautiful and fascinating, is unpredictable and dangerous, and it’s important to remember that its laws are not the same as ours.

THE BEST DOG ESCAPE SCENE IN MOVIE HISTORY

"Shaggy Dog" is a franchise that includes several movies released over the decades.

"The Shaggy Dog" (1959) is the original Disney film. The story follows a teenager named Wilby Daniels who transforms into an Old English Sheepdog due to a magical ring. In "The Shaggy D.A." (1976), the sequel, Wilby Daniels is now an adult and a lawyer, who once again transforms into a dog while trying to become a district attorney.

I’m not sure if the punch scene or the rope descent is better.

WAKING UP WITH KISSES AND LOTS OF LOVE

In a world where we often wake up to the sound of an alarm, stressed by daily obligations, waking up full of love and kisses is a luxury that invites us to pause, even for a moment, and appreciate what truly matters. It reminds us that, above all, we are made to love and be loved.
