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.

>*Caitlyn* Jenner is a woman
You're on fucking drugs if you think a man who chops his dick off is anything but a man without a dick.
>Rachel Dolezal is a race-baiting sack of shit
Fair enough.
>Warren is by DNA part native american
I am more related to Ghengis Khan than Elizabeth "1/1024 Pocahontas" Warren has any right to claim to be native american. She is a fraud and fraudently claimed benefits intended to help *real* Natives. You are the sack of shit for condoning that kind of shit. Fuck you.
