A Canadian man in his early 20s was so unhappy with a high car insurance quote that he legally switched his gender from male to female, the Daily Mail reported in July.
The 24-year-old resident of Alberta boasted that changing his gender on paper saved him nearly $1,100 (£650) a year. The man told a news outlet: ‘I have taken advantage of a loophole… I’m a man, 100%. Legally, I’m a woman.’
