A 69-year-old man asks to be declared 49, claiming age is as fluid as gender

4. Nice try

Age is something other people think about you, not what you think about yourself.
What he is really arguing is our tendency to use age for arbitrary purposes. This isn't the first time this has been argued in court, just a different argument. Voting age, drinking age, drivers license, retirement age, medicare, SS benefits, the list goes on and on and have often been challenged in court for the arbitrary nature of it.

But a cute approach I'll give 'em that.
