Self-Definition Meets the Real World

In recent years, the idea of trans-species identity — people who identify as non-human animals — has moved from internet subculture into public conversation, viral headlines, and heated public debate.

What may begin as a personal matter of self-definition often turns into a media spectacle, where belief, performance, and physical reality collide in uncomfortable and sometimes tragic ways.

Trans-species Identity Beyond Its Limits

This brings us to the central question of this meetup:

Where does personal identity end — and where does shared physical reality begin?

From satire to philosophy, from digital culture to real-world consequences, this session opens a space to reflect on how far identity can stretch before the world pushes back.

What is This Event About?

Join us for a wild, provocative meetup exploring the frontier where identity, biology and social fiction collide. Using real cases, urban legends and subcultures — from “human dogs” to “otherkins,” from hoaxes to real biological oddities — we’ll discuss:

• What does it mean to identify as another species?
• When does identity turn into performance — and when does it become existential?
• Can biology ever catch up with identity?
• Where do we draw the line between “absurd” and “authentic”?
• And above all: are we ready to radically question what “being human” means?

Why You Should Join:

• 🧠 Open minds — this is not a joke night, but a philosophical-cultural exploration.
• 🔥 Controversial, real & surreal — mixing hoaxes, real subcultures and biological anomalies.
• 🎤 Interactive debate — not a lecture: your thoughts, provocations and reactions welcome.
• 🤝 Community of curious people — for those bored of usual identity politics and ready to push boundaries.

Main Cases & Themes We’ll Examine:

• The “Deer Man” viral hoax & why people believed it
• Real subcultures: human-dogs, human-horses, “otherkin”
• Performance vs identity: role-play, lifestyle, existential claim
• A biological contrast: documented cases of sex-change / hormonal reversal in animals (like the famous chicken that “became a rooster”)
• Philosophical questions about species, body, identity, society and limits

Format & Flow (tentative):

• Welcome & opening (ice-breaker)
• Short presentation of 3–4 of the most provocative cases (with visuals)
• Open discussion / debate in small groups
• Collective round: big questions + audience reflections
• (Optional) Suggested reading / resources list + final wrap up
