Don't ask me a question if you're only going to call me a liar.

I've been looking at car insurance. Predictably they all ask what my gender is although I'm sure that what they're really asking is what my legal sex is. The real trick with this is that they are the ones who get to decide whether I've given them "misleading" information and I don't want them to make that decision when I'm trying to submit a claim. The mighty synergystic force that is social media and derbygirls has pointed me at an insurance broker with the suggestion that I explain the situation to them and let *them* wrangle definitions with insurance providers. I think I like that idea. It means that I avoid a series of awkward conversations conducted via call centre lottery which would almost certainly mean that I'd have to explain sex and gender to someone who wouldn't get it and wouldn't want to have to try. I had that particular experience with health insurance and it broke me. I hate hate HATE online forms like this. Everyone else can fill them out without even thinking about it but it effectively denies me access to the entire online service. I feel transactivist GRAAARGH! This isn't helpful when I'm about to turn the light of and try to go to sleep.
