Guy Saves $1100 on Car Insurance By Switching to Female

Yep. A guy gamed the system and legally changed his sex just to get cheaper auto insurance.

CalgarySun-

‘I am now a woman … I now pay $1100 less for auto-insurance. I won. The end,’ wrote the unidentified man in a Reddit post

An Alberta man has legally changed his gender purely to benefit from the lower car insurance rates offered to women.

“I didn’t feel like getting screwed over any more,” the man, identified only as “David,” told CBC this week.

For more than three years, Alberta has been among several provinces in which residents can legally change the sex on their birth certificates without providing evidence of genital surgery.

Under a 2015 reform brought in by Alberta’s Progressive Conservatives, to change the gender on a birth certificate applicants need only provide a note from an accredited physician or psychologist indicating that they identify as a different sex.

“It was pretty simple. I just basically asked for it and told (the doctor) that I identify as a woman, or I’d like to identify as a woman, and he wrote me the letter I wanted,” David told CBC.

Once a birth certificate is amended, it’s then a simple process to have the change applied to an Alberta driver’s licence.

David noted in a post to Reddit last April that he would have paid $4,517 if he had insured his car as a man, but the cost dropped to $3,423 once he became a woman.

  1. I would have thought it would be the other way around, since women usually pay higher rates. And based on 40+ years of driving, they’ve earned it. No offense ladies.

  2. Right up there with the “guys” that compete in women’s sports and win.
    I like it. They set the rules. He just followed them to their illogical, irrational end.

  3. It’s lovely! Every day more and more absurdity, the outgrowth of the nutty left, will be exposed. I’m glad he got away with it. ….Lady in Red

    PS: His rates seem, on the surface, to be much much too high regardless of the sex he picks.

  4. He will also get much lower health and life insurance. But for honest reasons. Men die much younger than women and tend to eat more raw meats (sushi, beef, chicken….)

  5. He will however, now be paying more for the pink disposable razors, which cost signicantly more than the blue ones from the same company. And if he has to show ID at the Hair Cuttery, he’ll be paying an extra $5 for the same cut.

    I would be ashamed before the Lord
    if I called myself a “woman”.There is
    no amount of money on this earth…

    A 20-year old doesn’t care about being ashamed, all he cares about is the money. It’s always about the money. He only is playing the game that they set up. I’d call it Checkmate on the insurance company. This kid was smart and he won.

  7. Why are insurance companies allowed to charge different rates based on sex, but not on race, which is just as valid an indicator of risk? Rhetorical question; I already know the answer.

  8. In cɑse you are tһe kind of one who is less than thrilled with the prospect of
    working in the same office, day after day, eⅼiminating this type of routine is wіthout doubt one of thе most
    necessary highlights that you can receive from freelancing.
    While you hirе yourself out as a freelancer, each job
    proјect that уou simply take on will probably be a brand new
    adventure. Not only ѡill the work atmosρhere fluctuate, but you will also have the opportunity to satisfy many extra attention-grаbƅing people.
    Thіѕ factor аlone is without ⅾoubt one
    of the predominant the explanation why many paralegals want freeⅼancing over committing themselᴠes to
    1 particuⅼaг workplace.
