Two women have spoken about how they entered into a civil partnership to regain their tax and pension rights.
Emma Martin, 64, a post-operative transsexual from Cambridgeshire, was married to her now civil partner Linda.
They annulled their marriage so Emma would be legally recognised as a woman, but lost the same tax rights as married couples or those in civil partnerships.
