BAD IDEA
Can I identify as a dog?
Sure, you can say it, but your coworkers won't be fetching your stick anytime soon.
Identifying yourself as a dog is a choice of imagination, not biology or society. If it makes you happy to bark at mailmen in your mind, go for it—but don’t expect the world to toss you a bone or honor your howls as legal ID. Humans are stuck in human skins, sorry.
