75 Swiss francs is all that it cost for one savvy Swiss individual to exploit a loophole in Swiss retirement regulations to retire one year earlier and receive even more lavish benefits than he would have received had he remained a male on paper.
Thanks to a new law, Swiss citizens are allowed to change their sex on paper without needing to provide any documentation from a doctor or physician. All it takes is 75 francs and a desire to be referred to as a man or a woman.
Well, as it happens, retirement benefits in certain Swiss states differ by sex. In the wealthy Alpine canton of Lucerne, women are allowed to retire a full year earlier - at 64 vs. 65 for men - and women receive more generous benefits.
Switzerland's local paper Luzerner Zeitung shared the story with the world, and it quickly went viral.
The individual in question lives in Lucerne, where pensions are really high: they can range from around $15,000 to $27,000 annually, depending on factors like age and gender.
There haven't been any other reports of men in Lucerne also changing their sex so they can retire a year early. After all, when they turn 66, they can simply change it back if they want (or keep it and continue to enjoy higher payouts).
In response to the report of the sex-change retirement scam, the local media in Switzerland have dreamed up other ways in which men can exploit the system by legally changing their sex on paper.
But we're sure they're all just being transphobic and that nobody exploits gender assignment for personal gain. Only somebody a J.K. Rowling-level bigot would say something like that.
Saw on another blog that 19 countries have laws allowing women to retire early ...
Well, if our testosterone level keeps dropping, as a nation, old timers might have another tool in the shed besides getting divorced, to avoid the Medicare 5 year rule.
Why do women get to retire earlier when men die younger?
I identify as a woman who is a lesbian. I dress like a man and use male pronouns
So i say, “you go girl!!”
“Well, if our testosterone level keeps dropping, as a nation, old timers might have another tool in the shed ... “
Sounds like one less tool.
I think this story is awesome. One of the best ways to beat these woke governments is to use their own system to gut punch them.
They keep telling us that women can do anything a man can do. Except when they can't.
Male privilege, of course.
Every man in Switzerland should be doing this. It’s time for civil disobedience against these insane leftists that have brought Western Civilization to its knees.
It comes from a time and age where men were gallant toward their ladyfolk, and actually cared about them.
Not so sure that it still exists in the seats of government.
Thankfully it DOES still exist out in flyover country.
I wonder when Switzerland started the retirement rule and what arguments led to it.
Switzerland has been one of the wealthiest countries in the world and can afford some different rules, if they so choose.
The dream of every male lesbian ...
> I think this story is awesome. <
Me too. The article refers to what the guy did as a “scam”. But it’s no scam. The guy (now a gal) was simply following the rules as written.
At the same time declare your the appropriate age for your pension or ss.
Make the gubmint or your company deny you.
Call them on their wokeness. Until it costs companies or gubmint money this stupidity will continue.
Invest $80 get back about $20,000 and have a full year to do nothing but enjoy it. What a return that is!
No!
It's time for every man in Switzerland to mock, ridicule, vote out, and/or demand prosecution of every elected or appointed government official or judge who was involved in allowing this perverted wokeism to occur.
So the women can have the extra time they need to learn how to back a car when picking up the grandkids. LOL
Easy to correct.
A simple Crocodile Dundee equipment check.
If you want the check, chop chop.
Crocodile Dundee -”Just making sure”. 50 second video.
Because women voters matter more to politicians who make the laws.
Does he now have to get a yearly Pap smear and breast cancer exam?
“… women are allowed to retire a full year earlier - at 64 vs. 65 for men - and women receive more generous benefits.”
What happened to “we just want to be equal”? It appears they skipped over that part and went straight to “we want to be superior.”
Kind of like homos. They went from “just leave us alone in our bedrooms” to “you must enjoy us ramming this down your throat 24x7” and “we are coming for your kids.”
And many blacks went from “equality” right to “black and brown superiority.”
And how will this be accomplished when we don’t know who will be counting the votes, or HOW they will be counted?
The left does not play by any set of rules. It is time we realized this.
