You don’t need to be mentally ill to identify as a member of the opposite sex. Maybe you have been arrested for sexually molesting a 10-year-old girl, and you want to serve your short sentence in a female juvenile facility. Or maybe you just want to retire a year earlier.

From Switzerland:

The story is about a 60-year-old man from the canton of Lucerne: he became a woman a year earlier in order to receive his old-age pension, according to the local newspaper Luzerner Zeitung… The premise lies in an amendment to the Civil Code that came into force on January 1st, which simplifies the gender reassignment procedure as much as possible: A 10-minute conversation with public officials is enough to determine the citizen’s capacity and the payment of a registration fee of approx. 72 euros.

That €72 is chickenfeed. The pension could be as much as €26,960 per year. Now he’ll collect starting at age 64 instead of 65. Whoops, I used the wrong pronouns.

Changing gender can also allow you to get cheaper car insurance, and could be a way to evade conscription. Biology is just a social construct anyway, right?

On a tip from Franco.
