Young Canadian saves $1,000 after changing gender
A man has changed gender to female to get cheaper car insurance.
A 24 year old Canadian man unhappy with the $4,517 quote he was given for his car insurance, asked his broker how much he would save if he was female.
The answer was $3,425 – a saving of more than $1,000.
He got a doctor to certify that he identified as a woman, obtained a new birth certificate and driving licence listing him as a woman, and reapplied for his car insurance.
But he has no plans to complete the process and go through gender reassignment surgery.
He told Canadian television: “I have taken advantage of a loophole. I’m a man, 100%. Legally, I’m a woman.”
EU rules introduced in 2012 make it illegal for insurers to use gender to determine different insurance rates for men and women.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
