A bunch of readers have sent me “Alberta man changes gender on government IDs for cheaper car insurance” (CBC). But this $1,100 (Canadian) hero was not a pioneer.
“Man legally changes his gender to identify as a woman ‘so he can retire five years earlier’ in Argentina” (Daily Mail, March 2018):
Sergia Lazarovich, 60, a government worker from the northern province of Salta, applied to change her gender in June last year, having lived for decades as Sergio.
The change was approved recently but a relative has since come forward to accuse Sergia of lying and trying to cheat the pension system.
Argentinian law allows any person to change their gender on identity documents to match their self-perception, without having to provide evidence of hormone treatment or gender reassignment surgery.
The law also allow women to retire on a state pension aged 60, whereas men have to wait until age 65.
Sergia has been in multiple heterosexual relationships including with the mother of her two children to whom she was married for 25 years.
She has never expressed an interest in men, and continued dating women even after registering for the change, the relative said.
Sergia has also never expressed an interest in living as a woman before and even made disparaging comments about gays and transsexuals, the relative claimed.
Confronted by the statement, Sergia accused newspapers of printing lies and said the decision to change genders was personal.
‘The motivations are mine and I do not have to explain anything to anyone,’ he told the El Tribuno newspaper.
Spanish-speaking readers: How is Sergia doing? Has she joined the Check of the Month club down in Salta?

My money is on fraud given the prior ‘Argentina’, but for what is worth, being transgender is independent of who people are attracted to — to the best of my knowledge, straight men who transition end up as lesbian women, and straight women who transition end up as gay men. So the fact Sergia is on to women is irrelevant to whether she is really transgender or not.
Going back to the prior ‘Argentina’, it seems that the law is just a big fat loophole for fraud, and I would not be surprised it was done on purpose.
This begs the question: since men tend to become infirm and die younger than women (in the U.S.), shouldn’t we become eligible for Social Security and Medicare at a younger age than women do?
Sergia is almost certainly a lesbian and I wish her the best.

Sounds like a hole ripe for the **ucking and Sergia sounds like the woman with enough balls to **uck such a hole.
Gender is a BIOLOGICAL FACT and not something you identify with or otherwise. Do you have a cock or a pussy? Do you have balls or ovaries? Do you have XX or XY chromosomes? Everything else is bullshit, not unlike identifying as a Kangaroo makes you a marsupial, as should be accommodated no more and no less.
We should ban the changing on genders after birth except in the case of clerical mistakes. If you want to cut of your cock, dig a hole and get breast implants you are free to do so. But that’ll only make you a eunuch with boobs. It certainly doesn’t make you female. If that makes you feel sad, excluded and depressed, well you are free to go jump off a bridge when nobody’s around to stop you. We should make no accommodations to misrepresent sex just to make you feel better!
Sexual orientation is established before birth, and to suggest any malleability thereof is criminal bigotry.
Gender is completely fluid, and people who change (with our without surgery) are morally superior beings.

I don’t see what’s wrong with someone changing his/her “sex” identity back-and-forth on as-needed basis to take advantage of better offers. It’s the same as shopping around for a better deal. No?
