Dutch man, 69, who 'identifies as 20 years younger' launches legal battle to change age

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/11/07/dutch-man-69-identifies-20-years-younger-launches-legal-battle/

A pensioner has begun a legal battle to be recognised as being 20 years younger than his actual age so he can go back to work and achieve greater success with women on Tinder.

Emile Ratelband, 69, argues that if transgender people are allowed to change sex, he should be allowed to change his date of birth because doctors said he has the body of a 45-year-old.

    Guarantee this is being orchestrated by Tinder.

    Genius from the marketing team if so...

    He's clearly just taking the piss out of the wokers. Good luck to him.

    Just a publicity stunt.

    It is not possible to change the date and time an historical event took place - i.e. birth. The court will refuse his request.

    I am a genius at posting on the wrong thread.

    It's 'cos I love cricket but also identify with the bloke who wants to be considered 20 years younger!

  • Ratelband is a nutter. One of his sons is named Rolls Ratelband and one of his daughters Royce Ratelband. He'd get on well with Roland.

    The fact that it's got as far as a court ruling is utter madness.

    At the first meeting with his solicitor, they should have told him to return home and think very seriously about what he was doing, after he had popped his slippers back on and made a nice hot mug of Horlicks.
  • My question is if this gets approved where does the line get drawn

    What would stop an unknown Paedophile (not on the register) from getting their age changed to that of a minor and then trying to join kids clubs?

    Or a rapist identifying as a woman and being moved to a female prison.

    You don't put your date of birth on CVs anymore and people lie anyway. Who's to bloody know?? As for Tinder...he's not exactly going to be the first to lie about his age or make stuff up about himself on a social media site, is he??

    How does this even get to a court case? Feckin' nutter!!!
