AP- A Dutch positivity guru by the name of Emile Ratelband asked a court in the Netherlands if he could change his age to being officially 49 years old. He basis his argument on the fact that since there is freedoms of name and gender, he should have the right to control his own age. He states that he does not want to be discriminated based on his age, including on dating websites. Majolein Van den Brink, a specialist in human rights and gender issues, stated that the discrimination of age is a different problem than that of gender. According to Brink, age may affect one's chances in the job market, but something like gender literally affects a person's life from birth till death. Ratelband later stated in the article that performing such a change would benefit the government financially since it would shave off 20 years of his pension. Thus, it is estimated that government would over 300,000 euros.
