A Canadian dude is SICK AND TIRED of all the women privilege in car insurance rates!
So he decided to call himself a lady and call it a day.
Alberta man admits to Perjury – “changes gender on government IDs for cheaper car insurance.” He thinks he’s so clever. Perjury is an offence liable to imprisonment of up to fourteen years. IT’S NOT A LOOPHOLE IT’S A CRIME! #ableghttps://t.co/U4jjP7elrk pic.twitter.com/46swLWdIf5

Wow. It’s a crime to identify as a woman? This chick is SUCH a bigot. I THOUGHT YOU ARE WHATEVER YOU SAY YOU ARE, WHENEVER YOU SAY IT?!
According to CBC News, some guy in his 20’s wanted to buy a Chevy Cruze and was SHOCKED AND APPALLED when he found out how much his insurance would be.
“I have taken advantage of a loophole,” said the man — we’re calling him David — who spoke on the condition that his identity be kept confidential because of the potential repercussions.
Like losing his low car insurance rate? I’d be worried, too. Car insurance sucks.
David, who lives in Alberta, says he identifies as a male. But his government-issued identification tells a different story.
It started when an insurance company gave David a quote — roughly $4,500 a year, if he bought the Chevy. He had a collision and a ticket or two on his record, which helped boost the premium.
Then, he had an idea. He asked the insurer what his costs would be if he were a woman. He was told his annual bill would sink to roughly $3,400 — a $1,100 difference.
WHAAA? *insert women can’t drive joke here*
“I was pretty angry about that. And I didn’t feel like getting screwed over any more,” he said.
“So I asked them to change my gender on my auto policy, and she’s like, we can’t do that.”
So what did he do?
He changed his gender on his birth certificate.
Because why not? You’re totally allowed to do that.
After doing some research, he realized he needed a doctor’s note to show the government he identifies as a woman, even though he doesn’t.
“It was pretty simple,” he said. “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.”
TA-DA! Cheaper car insurance!
Now people are freaking out… but it seems pretty bigoted to let SOME people change their genders, and not others, Am I right?
I mean… I certainly identify as someone who wants to pay lower rates on car insurance, don’t you?
