    "But you cannot escape your sex, race, or the progress of time. "

    An aquaintance at college is going to undergo sex-change treatment - they have been advised that the increasing amounts of oestrogen will result in them losing some of their perceptual skills.

    So it appears that the medical profession are aware of the differences between males and females.

    To me it seems quite right that people should be discriminated against if the statistics show significant differences in claims costs and frequency. Yes it is unfortunate for those people but that is how the cookie crumbles.
