quote:

Emile Ratelband, 69, wants to shift his birthday from 11 March 1949 to 11 March 1969, comparing the change to identifying as being transgender.

"We live in a time when you can change your name and change your gender. Why can't I decide my own age?" he said.

A local court in the eastern city of Arnhem is expected to rule on the case within four weeks.

However officials were sceptical about the case, believing there was no legal mechanism allowing a person to change their birth date, local reports said.



quote:

Mr Ratelband argues he feels discriminated against because of his age, and that it was affecting his employment chances and his success rate on the dating app, Tinder.

"When I'm 69, I am limited. If I'm 49, then I can buy a new house, drive a different car. I can take up more work," he said.


"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."

I like. The only way to end this liberal nonsense is to break the system.

Every 15 year old can now identify as 21 to buy booze.

Where was this cultural Marxism when I was in high school?

Yep. Me too. But not this guy. The only way to show crazy what crazy looks like is to force it look in the mirror.

This is the sort of stupid shite you get when you start to cater to the horseshite identity politics pushed by progressives. First gay marriage, then all these multiple genders/fluid genders, etc.

I’ve said it more than once on here, Pandora’s Box has been flung wide the frick open. All that’s left to do now is sit back and watch all the shite that flies out while the world goes to complete shite.

here is the paradox, can a 15 year old legally request a age change to 21 if at the time of the age change request they are not a legal adult....

I keep going back and forth on wondering if these people on the left never anticipate these unintended consequences or if they're just trying to upend basic common sense in order to take power.
