A 69-year-old man who claims to identify as a 49-year-old is now trying to get his age legally changed. Emile Ratelband, a Netherlands media personality, says he believes that if a transgender person can change their sex, he should be able to change his date of birth. Ratelband maintains that doctors have told him he has the body of a 45-year-old and believes that changing his age would help him get more dates on Tinder.

Age change. Earlier this week, 69-year-old Emile Ratelband announced he’s going to legally pursue having his age changed to 45. The positivity guru says he identifies as a person 20 years younger and believes changing his age will help his dating life.
Date of birth. According to the Daily Mail UK, Ratelband was born on March 11, 1949, but is looking to have the year of his birth changed to 1969. He believes getting his age changed would also help him get a new house, a new job, and more.
Position. "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. Transgender people can now have their gender changed on their birth certificate, and in the same spirit there should be room for an age change,” said Ratelband, as reported by the Daily Mail UK.
