A single pensioner has launched a legal battle to change his age so he can go back to work and meet more women on Tinder.

He argues that if transgender people are legally allowed to change sex, he should be allowed to give himself a new birth date because doctors told him he has the body of a 45-year-old.

The judge said that he had some sympathy with Mr Ratelband, but the court said there would be practical problems in allowing people to change their birth date - as it would mean legally deleting part of their lives.

Thing is Vvmevvme, he can't win. Or, he can't be allowed to win because of the knock-on effects. For example - fortysomethings ageing up to claim their pensions. Seventysomethings ageing down for cheaper travel insurance. The insurance companies will scream blue murder. Money talks, and more importantly, money is LISTENED TO. So no, he won't win. Well, he won't win this case. But he will win a ruling where the courts must give reasons for rejecting his case. And those reasons can be pointed at by the gender critical as to why sex should not be changed on birth certificates either.

If I was him I’d try to identify as somebody who looked a lot less like Rolf Harris.

"Its as preposterous as it is impossible."
As is changing your sex, surely?
