Thanks!

declare @t varchar(10) = 'FALSE'

,@b bit

SET @b-2 = CAST(@t as bit)

select @b-2

WHERE @b-2 = 'FALSE'

Easy one, but the most easy way of doing this was not an option:

SET @boolean = @TrueFalse

I did pick the right option. However, all 3 could be the easiest, depending on your coding style.

Alternatively, you don't need the CAST.

SET @boolean = @TrueFalse

works just fine, too.

It's nice to have a simple question every once in a while. Thanks.

This is the type of question that makes me REALLY think about the data type and how it works under the hood. Once you explore how it really works, it can help when you're writing code.
