In the quixotic battle against old age, some people use skin care and spin class.
That’s not enough for Emile Ratelband, a 69-year-old who feels like he’s in his 40s. The Dutch pensioner is asking a court in his hometown of Arnhem, southeast of Amsterdam, to change his birth certificate so that it says he took his first breath on March 11, 1969, rather than on March 11, 1949. The judges heard his case Monday and promised they would render a verdict in the next several weeks.
Ratelband sees his request as no different from a petition to change his name or the gender he was assigned at birth — and isn’t bothered that this comparison might offend transgender people, whose medical needs have been recognized by the American Medical Association. It comes down to free will, he maintains.
I want to be recognized as an alien trapped in an Earthling's body.

Yeah, don't ever talk about Caitlyn's penis like that! But you should toss her of the building, and stone her below for having Conservative believes.
Rachel Dolezal is Black by your idealogy's stringent "I feel like it" criteria.
Elizabeth Warren is more White than me, and I'm 100% of a certain Caucasian ethnicity that migrated from Euroasia a 1000 years ago. Better read up on the sham of a test she took. It actually uses 0 Native American DNA for comparison AHAHAHAHAHA.
Now listen, we know you lost your mind, you can stop remind us all the damn time.

Wait, everyone else is telling me she cut the thing off. Which is it? This is, like, Schroedinger's Ding-a-ling here.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
