    'I suffer under my age': Dutch man seeks to legally change his age – video
    A 69-year-old Dutch “positivity guru” who says he does not feel his age has started a battle to make himself legally 20 years younger on the grounds that he is being discriminated against on a dating app.

    Emile Ratelband told a court in Arnhem in the Netherlands that he did not feel “comfortable” with his date of birth, and compared his wish to alter it to people who identified as transgender.

    Ratelband said that due to having an official age that did not reflect his emotional state he was struggling to find both work and love. He has asked for his date of birth to be changed from 11 March 1949 to 11 March 1969.

    “When I’m 69, I am limited. If I’m 49, then I can buy a new house, drive a different car,” he said. “I can take up more work. When I’m on Tinder and it says I’m 69, I don’t get an answer. When I’m 49, with the face I have, I will be in a luxurious position.”

    Doctors had told him his body was that of a 45-year-old man, Ratelband argued. He described himself as a “young *”.

    The judge conceded that the ability to change gender was a development in the law. “I agree with you: a lot of years ago we thought that was impossible,” he said. But he asked the applicant how his parents would feel about 20 years of Ratelband’s life being wiped off the records.

    “For whom did your parents care? Who was that little boy then?” the judge asked.

    Ratelband, a motivational speaker and trainer in neurolinguistic programming, said his parents were dead.

    He also said he was willing to renounce his right to a pension to ensure there were no unforeseen consequences of his age change.

    At the end of a 45-minute court session, Ratelband said: “It is really a question of free will.”

    Ratelband’s lawyer, Jan-Hein Kuijpers, said it was high time for the reversal of age.

    The public prosecutor in the court asked whether the ability to change a date of birth in the law would require health inspections in the future, to allow the state to correctly judge someone’s “emotional age”.

    Kuijpers told the court: “There is also something like common sense, of course.”




































    So this * is 69 and wants to identify as a 49 year old...

    You've got * born with dicks that want to be women

    Women born with fannies that want a wee fake *

    Bampots that want to be identified as neither a man nor a woman

    * that demand to be identified as aliens, dogs, monkeys, jars of kenco.......what the * next?

    Attention seeking dafties the lot of them if you ask me.

    Not a very positive outlook from a positivity guru. Absolute * calling himself “Young *.” How dare this * use my official title.
