Quote:Emile Ratelband has launched a legal bid to change his age by 20 years in order to improve his chances with women on dating applications like Tinder and help with job prospects, according to reports in Dutch media.
"You can change your name. You can change your gender. Why not your age? Nowhere are you so discriminated against as with your age," Dutch paper De Telegraaf quoted Ratelband as saying.

It has always fascinated me how detached the left can be to science when it comes to trans-whatever they are trying to be.

Well I'm disappointed. I was expecting to see a link to one of Mach's threads.

Well it is a first. The first time that I've thought it was unfair to the left to call this anything but insane. But since Obi Wan waived his hand and said these aren't the droids you are looking for there seems to be no end to deceptive surrogates for reality.

"You do not see the middle aged fart that is before you. I'm a 21 year old stud good for 5 pops a night. I'm the ***** you are looking for!"

I'm afraid that not even the alt left can come up with that!

Hey, I'm all for it.

He's right, you know.


I wish I could find it, but I recall a man-on-campus video asking people if they thought it was ok if he called himself a woman.

Of course they said it was ok.

Then he asked if it was ok if he thought he was an asian woman.

Uh, ok.

What if he was a 6'5" asian woman?

Well, you're not 6'5".


lol... everything else was ok, but not claiming to be a height that you're not. Because you're just not.

And here I thought this was just a post with links to posts made in other threads.....

Bwahahaha

Age is a social construct, like gender.

I'm a twin. I think twins should be able to say their age is the combined age of you and your twin (assuming he/she is still alive).

Next year, I plan on celebrating the fact that I am a supercentenarian.

Funny, happens in sports all the time...

linky: 11 Athletes Who Lied About Their Age

just one from the list:

Quote:11. “Esmailyn Gonzalez” (Carlos Lugo)

In 2006, the Washington Nationals thought they were signing themselves a hot prospect in 17-year-old Dominican Esmailyn Gonzalez. There was a press conference, with the ceremonial putting-on of the Nationals jersey and hat, and team officials proclaimed their hope that the signing would pave the way for future signings from theDominican Republic. Of course, it was reveled in 2009 that Esmailyn was actually 21 at the time of his signing (born in 1985 rather than 1989). Also, his name wasn’t Esmailyn. It was Carlos Lugo. Like so many others, the young man had lied about his age so he’d be viewed as a phenom.

So tell me, who's the smart one?

Well we're both Democrats so I'll let you decide. He's got a Masters' degree from Sam Houston State, so I'll have to give him the edge on post high school career.
