They say trans lesbianism is just heterosexuality, which of course is true. What they don't say is that T4T lesbianism is actually a heterosexuality contest. I, the winner, am heterosexual. Tina on the other hand is extremely gay.

*’Doublethink’ is a term coined by George Orwell in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, describing the mental capacity to hold two contradictory beliefs simultaneously and accept both as true, a core mechanism of the totalitarian Party's control over reality…

As a transgender woman trying to just live a simple quiet life in the UK, I'm pretty well placed to say this paragraph is complete bullshit and this government are shameless liars as well as hateful bigots who are actively shutting me out of participation in society.
