Dutch grandfather demands to have extra 27 years removed from his passport

So, it turns out that not only the gender of a person is an abstract concept, but also age is a purely personal matter.

If it seems to you that you feel like you are 18, then you are 18, and it doesn’t matter what they wrote in your passport. What nonsense, you think, and here an entrepreneur from the Netherlands Emil Ratelband will seriously object to you. He firmly believes that he has every right to change his age at will.

The man even sued, demanding to change the date of his birth, he was naturally denied in court. Then Ratelband rightly remarked that in a society where a person can choose his gender, it should be allowed to choose his age.

He was invited to the show Good Morning Britain, where he, without embarrassment in expressions, voiced his point of view. By the way, Emil decided to arrange this whole circus due to the fact that women on dating sites react more actively to him when the age of 49 is indicated in the profile. And the man is actually 69, such a small surprise for the ladies.
