Man Wants Court to Acknowledge He Identifies as 20-yrs Younger.

[Go2Guy]

Reasons if one can identify as a different gender, or different name, why not age? Wants to avoid age discrimination....he might have a legal precedent and a case.

"... UTRECHT, Netherlands (AP) — Self-styled positivity guru Emile Ratelband thinks age is just a number. And his is a number the Dutchman wants changed.

The 69-year-old TV personality has asked a court in the Netherlands to approve his request for a new birthday that officially would make him 49...says his legal appeal is consistent with other forms of personal transformation that are gaining acceptance and government recognition in the Netherlands and around the world. "With this free(dom) of choice, choice of name, freeness of gender, I want to have my own age. I want to control myself," he said Thursday."

Just what I want to do, declare myself 20 years younger and then work another 30 years before I can retire.

 

[CtownCyclone]

Think of the possibilities... Senior discount, here I come!

This oughta be good.

This oughta be good.

If I identify as a 17-year old maybe I can finally marry this 15-year old I've had my eye on.

I can't believe this hasn't already happened. If it works there will be a flood of people identifying at 65+ year olds so they can start collecting on social security before the retirement age goalpost gets moved back any further.

Easy there Argent

 

[cyclones500]

I want to identify myself as extraordinarily wealthy. I can ask the court to have $800M deposited in my bank account.

Easy there Argent

She’s mature for her age.

 

[ArgentCy]

I approve. Facts don't really matter anymore so I say we just declare whatever we feel like. 29 years old is a good age.

 

[Leidang]

May as well just declare you are agefluid and adjust as the situation warrants....

 

[CyJeans]

I think the obvious answer is no.

This is a lot like the argument people made that people were just going to claim the other gender to hang out in other bathrooms to commit assault. As if someone who was ****** up enough to do that was somehow bound by the system in place before. This is just another childish and weak attempt to diminish LGTBQ rights.

Haha speak of the devil

 

[MeowingCows]

I actually don't disagree with him. We've opened the floodgates on allowing how people feel to dictate their legal status.

There always has to be reasonable boundaries. Age changes could actually be society-breaking. It doesn't break society if someone wants to change from 'boy' to 'pansexual unicorn dragonkin', but it does break society when they change age to bypass age-related laws and restrictions.

Obviously you aren't... Not even the fake 17-year-old version of you.

 

[Gonzo]

Creed approves.

I can identify as a 16 year old when I play RDR2 into the late hours of the morning, but am cruelly slapped by the reality of my 39 year old life when I accidentally wake up the toddler while tiptoeing to bed.

 

[CY88CE11]

Creed approves.

Hey, brah. I've been meaning to ask you. Can we get some Red Bull for these things? Sometimes a guy's gotta ride the bull, am I right? Later, skater.

What constitutes reasonable though? Without sending this to the cave, wouldn't DNA be reasonable for gender? How is date/year of birth any different on the reasonable scale?

Reality is the only thing that slaps you? I get that from the wife AND the toddler in that situation...
