To misquote Henry Higgins, “why can’t a man be more like a woman?” Well now he (or she, or should it be ze?) can.
From here:
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,” [not me, I should point out] 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.
This is very tempting. If I become a woman, not only will my car and life insurance go down, but I will suddenly become a married lesbian and, thus, a prime candidate for a lucrative bishop’s job in the Anglican Church of Canada. The Diocese of Montreal would be a perfect fit.
You will get my vote, if I ever stop laughing .
They have opened Pandora’s box. May God have mercy on all of us.
Ha ha!
The end result is obvious: insurance companies will no doubt eventually just make premiums the same regardless of the sex or “gender” of the driver, offering discounts based entirely on your driving record. That will mean much higher premiums for women of course, but then, that too is equality.
The one enduring and dependable law in the great tide of human affairs – the Law of Unintended Consequences – strikes again!
When a man transitions to female and then decides to trans-back, is he now considered a trans male? Using the logic of transgenderism, the answer would have to be “yes’; the person became an authentic female by virtue of transitioning. This is all very, very sad. And we do not help people by aiding, abetting, and colluding.
He may well have lower insurance premiums but should anything happen he could be faced with the denial of any claim due to providing false information to his insurers.
“[But] should anything happen he could be faced with the denial of any claim due to providing false information to his insurers.”
That’s assuming of course that the insurers find a judge prepared to argue against prevailing politically correct thinking on “gender” issues. Given that the fellow, er, “woman” in question has the support of the provincial government behind him, er, “her”, good luck!
Heaven protect them if it ever went up to our modern, social-justice-minded Supreme Court!
Ha ! This is a hoot !
The joke is on the stupid liberals/lefties that set the stage for all this.
