ignoring the perjury issue for the moment; doesn't this still constitute insurance fraud?

Re: Canadian fights gender discrimination by insurance company
He told his doctor he identified as a woman. The doctor wrote the required letter. Birth certificate changed per the legal process. What he says on the news or in interviews has no bearing. Let’s say they want to haul him into court. What will their evidence be that he doesn’t identify as a woman. Is there a “good reason”requirement in the law? And whom adjudicates the reason?JustSomeOldGuy wrote: ↑Mon Jul 30, 2018 12:49 pm ignoring the perjury issue for the moment; doesn't this still constitute insurance fraud?

Re: Canadian fights gender discrimination by insurance company
Gender identity is not always obvious.
There is phenotype which means how you physically look. It is possible to be born looking like a female but genetically be a male (46xy chromosome). There are rumors that some very attractive "female" movie stars are actually genetically males and that they may not even know unless tested.
There is genotype and this means 46xx is female and 46xy is male but as noted above it is possible to be a male genetically and have all of the physical characteristics of a female but they can not reproduce.
Then there is the situation of ambiguous genitalia which makes it hard to tell whether one is male or female at birth without getting a genotype.
Now thanks to the LGBT community there is "you are whatever you want to be" and you can call yourself male today and female tomorrow or vice-versa. There are people psychologically that fit the opposite phenotypic sex (such as male would prefer to be female) and many of them have surgical changes to accomplish that. I am okay with these people but I am not okay with the "today I will call myself a girl and tomorrow I will be a boy". Kind of like Elizabeth Warren, today I will call myself an Indian because I can get a scholarship to Harvard. "Just look at my cheekbones".

If a company discriminates based on race, religion, or gender, I think it's great when somebody "passes" to get the better deal from the company.
