Can I be a lesbian or at least female and use the women's changing rooms or go to a women's refuge ? If not you're all homophobic and transphobic.

I was contemplating that I might attend the Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney tonight but driving into the city I saw 100s and 100s of huge lesbians in short shorts wandering about so I changed my mind.
## Nothing against Lesbians large or little but I never knew Sydney had so many. Of the large type.
### I drove through an area of numerous blocks of tall council flats from which these Lesbians were emerging en masse. I wonder if they got a flat at a knock down price because they are lesbians? I think we should be told.

I'm tempted to have gender reassignment even at this late stage if it scores me one.
No need to have anything sawn off Hedda. Just tell them you are gay!

How do prospective tenants prove they are gay or LGBT? And what is the criteria for selecting who is worthy of an apartment?
Surely they have them.
Hedda we have in the UK now unburdened ourselves of reality in favour of self identity.
I am a heterosexual male but if I identify as a lesbian male (which I am considering for career reasons...) this must be accepted by the authorities. The application of "criteria" would be illegal.
I don't know how far down the path of enlightenment you are in Aus but I hope that - if you have not quite reached our state of perfect self efficacy - you are not far behind.
they look like lovely flats.

My late aunt dressed me in drag when I was 14 (I think it was a joke ) when she owned a pub and introduced me to the Licensing Squad coppers as her niece once.
