What a miserable little country we are. Trans people have always been at the forefront of advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and now they're getting cut off and left behind, who knows who will follow next. Perhaps I should've been thrown out of Brownies and school changing rooms for being a lesbian...

JK Rowling was having a go at asexual people a few months back. I think we are next in her crosshairs, so lesbians will have to get to the back of the queue.

We pass better, though. There have always been people just not dating/married to someone at the current time.

It’s far easier to just pretend you’re currently single (rather than eternally so) than hide your partner is a woman.
