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.
“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.
