Was that request by SAfridiOfficial ?

Apeal

Nice try!

Och well he can always borrow Fred Gee 's ginger wig. 😉

I wanna go dutch!

He just needs to cross the border and apply for asylum in Germany. Then he can choose whatever age (and name) he wants😶

Arnhem eh? A court case too far then.

Unfortunately his plans would have gone south trying to convince a younger woman by 20 years he was the same age as her. Silly old fool.

Age expression is just as much of a right as gender expression.

How dare they. I hope the wrinkle cream manufacturers are prepared to fund his appeal they can't be allowed to treat us like we are beings who can just be quantified to suit themselves.

Great common sense ruling the bullshit have to end somewhere man

Why not 'Go Dutch'; assign 1/2 your years to the gov't, 1/2 to yourself. Then, you're no longer 69 years; choose either 34 or 35! Don't be 'deceived into thinking you have something to protect'.. - Dutch court rejects man’s request to be 20 yrs younger

He can migrate to the UK as a 15 year old child migrant instead.

There goes my job application at Abercrombie so. Shite.

Fascists.

If it was a precedent it'd be well set.

His twins, Rolls and Royce, will likely try and comfort their dad.

Oh my God who knew that the Dutch justice system is so regressive and anti human rights? Someone should give them a fistful of liberalism.

It doesn't matter how young 'Dutch Rolf Harris' tries to make out he is he still shouldn't get a job at Toys R Us!!

Court doesn’t cover personal fantasies of stupid people.

What? I mean, really, WHAT?! 😳😳😳😳

Damn - there goes my bid to be Colin Firth...

Why It's his 'constitutional right!'

Oh dear 😬

If gender and race is a social construction then why not age? jokes

There’s a surprise

Somebody actually went to court over this?

LOL. What a waste of time.

Pensioner who feels 20 years younger cannot change age, court rulesThe motivational speaker, 69, argued his body is that of a 49-year-old and he would do better on Tinder if his age was lower.
