Canadian man legally lists gender as female to get cheaper car insurance: report

 

A man, identified only as “David” who lives in Alberta, told CBC News that he was given a quote of $4,500 Canadian Dollars for the insurance of a Chevrolet Cruze he wanted to buy. The insurers told him his yearly bill would be around $1,100 less if he was a woman.

To take advantage of the lower rates and “beat the system”, David had to legally change his gender on a birth certificate. To do so, he had to acquire a note from the doctor acknowledging his identification as a woman before he could proceed with the change.

 

“It was pretty simple,” David told the outlet about the process of legally changing his gender. “I just basically asked for it and told them that I identify as a woman, or I’d like to identify as a woman, and he wrote me the letter I wanted.”

$4500 for auto insurance on a Cruze? What does he do, take it to dirt tracks and race it against those things that used to look like autos? So, a man gave up his manhood for $1100 and the right to say "tee hee" and "ciao"?

Wow, that's pretty misogynistic. Probably homophobic as well, considering he's likely now a lesbian.

Exactly the way I meant it. The guy went from being a Canadian to a Canadienne. Who does he think he is, Justin Trudeau?
